Abstract

abstract The rise of a geography of political discontent in the EU documented in recent studies highlights a strong spatial association between antisystem voting, regional economic decline, and poor occupational opportunities, suggesting that economic disparities within the EU are the origin of some of the most recent and shocking political events like Brexit. This article reexamines this statement by disentangling the effect on individual and political discontent of different socioeconomic disadvantage conditions at the interregional, intraregional, and individual level. Making use of a large data set on the individual and political discontent perceived by EU citizens between 2013 and 2018, our analysis confirms that a geography of discontent exists across EU regions. Nevertheless, our findings also highlight that intraregional inequalities do matter for individual discontent, and individual socioeconomic disadvantage conditions amplify further this negative effect.

无关紧要的人或地方？不满地理的个体和语境决定因素

最近的研究中记录的欧盟政治不满的地理位置的上升突出了反制度投票、地区经济衰退和就业机会差之间的强烈空间关联，这表明欧盟内部的经济差距是英国脱欧等一些最新令人震惊的政治事件的根源。本文通过在地区间、地区内和个人层面上解开不同社会经济劣势条件对个人和政治不满的影响，重新审视了这一说法。利用2013年至2018年间欧盟公民感知到的个人和政治不满的大量数据集，我们的分析证实了欧盟各地区存在不满的地理分布。然而，我们的研究结果也强调，区域内的不平等确实对个人不满很重要，而个人的社会经济劣势条件进一步放大了这种负面影响。
