Abstract

The Russian invasion of Ukraine challenged the European Union (EU) polity exceptionally, affecting many policy domains. We argue that the external threat triggers different logics of (in)security which can result in polity formation across policies. Two functionalist logics put pressure on the EU to centralize policies that (a) help it meet the geopolitical challenge set by Russia and (b) maintain unity among member states in the face of the challenge. We test this theory with a conjoint survey experiment in Germany, France, Italy, Poland, and Hungary, where we vary refugee, energy, costs of living, and defense policies. Our results show that there is strong solidarity for sharing the costs of refugees, which cuts across ideological and identitarian groups, and across countries. Other policy areas show more contentious support.

外部威胁下欧盟政体形成的两种功能主义逻辑:来自联合实验的证据。
俄罗斯入侵乌克兰对欧盟的政治构成了异常的挑战,影响了许多政策领域。我们认为,外部威胁触发了不同的安全逻辑,这可能导致跨策略的策略形成。两种功能主义逻辑迫使欧盟集中政策:(a)帮助其应对俄罗斯带来的地缘政治挑战;(b)在挑战面前保持成员国之间的团结。我们在德国、法国、意大利、波兰和匈牙利进行了一项联合调查实验,对这一理论进行了检验,在这些国家,我们对难民、能源、生活成本和国防政策进行了调整。我们的研究结果表明,在分担难民成本方面存在着强大的团结,这种团结跨越了意识形态和身份认同群体,也跨越了国家。其他政策领域则表现出更有争议的支持。

期刊介绍: European Union Politics is an international academic journal for advanced peer-reviewed research and scholarship on all aspects of the process of government, politics and policy in the European Union. It aims to stimulate debate and provide a forum to bridge the theoretical and empirical analysis on the political unification of Europe. It represents no particular school or approach, nor is it wedded to any particular methodology. In particular it welcomes articles that offer a new theoretical argument, analyze original data in a novel fashion or present an innovative methodological approach. The Editors invite submissions from all sub-fields of contemporary political science, including international relations, comparative politics, public administration, public policy and political theory.
