Abstract

Abstract This article analyses the ideational features of conservative civil society groups at EU level and compares them to progressive groups. Through a frame analysis of the textual materials of these two types of organisations, I examine their reactions to the success of populist formations in several European member states and at EU level. I argue that the long-established EU ethos of fostering progressive civil society is undergoing a redefinition, which impacts their strategies. I posit that in a changing political climate, EU institutions are less interested in some of the contributions progressive civil society offers, such as its contributions to public deliberation, governance, and the legitimacy of the EU. Progressive civil society reacts to the threat of a loss of standing and attempts to retain its historical centrality, legitimacy, and access. In contrast, conservative civil society groups seek to establish themselves in a political environment previously off-limits to them.
欧盟民粹主义政治话语的制度化和保守的不文明社会:从边缘到主流?
摘要本文分析了欧盟层面保守的公民社会团体的思想特征,并将其与进步团体进行了比较。通过对这两类组织文本材料的框架分析,我考察了它们对几个欧洲成员国和欧盟层面民粹主义组织成功的反应。我认为,欧盟长期以来培养进步公民社会的精神正在重新定义,这影响了他们的战略。我认为,在不断变化的政治气候下,欧盟机构对进步民间社会提供的一些贡献不太感兴趣,比如它对公众审议、治理和欧盟合法性的贡献。进步的民间社会对失去地位的威胁作出反应,并试图保持其历史中心地位、合法性和准入。相比之下,保守的民间社会团体则试图在以前禁止他们进入的政治环境中站稳脚跟。
