Abstract

This article examines the role of norms and culture in perceptions of the European Union. Conceptually, it offers a distinction between the image of the European Union as a normative actor and attitudes toward one's country's relations with the European Union. It also explores whether the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC), a cultural event which symbolizes the cultural understanding of contemporary Europe, is related to perceptions of the European Union. Empirically, it uses a public opinion survey ( n = 1050) following Israel's hosting of the ESC in 2019. The findings indicate that Israelis distinguish between the image of the European Union as an entity with positive features and their attitudes toward Israel's connections with the European Union.

外部对欧盟在以色列的看法——规范和文化的作用

本文考察了规范和文化在欧盟观念中的作用。从概念上讲，它区分了欧盟作为规范行为体的形象和对本国与欧盟关系的态度。它还探讨了欧洲歌唱大赛(ESC)，一个象征着当代欧洲文化理解的文化事件，是否与欧盟的看法有关。在经验上，它使用了以色列在2019年主办ESC之后的民意调查(n = 1050)。调查结果表明，以色列人将欧洲联盟作为一个具有积极特征的实体的形象与他们对以色列与欧洲联盟关系的态度区分开来。
