Abstract

A number of studies have established a strong link between anti-immigration and Eurosceptic attitudes. But does this relationship necessarily imply that more immigration would increase public Euroscepticism in member states of the European Union? I evaluate this question by analyzing immigration data and Eurobarometer survey data over the period 2009–2017. The analysis shows no evidence that individual levels of Euroscepticism increase with actual levels of immigration. This result suggests that a strong link between anti-immigration and Eurosceptic attitudes does not necessarily translate into a strong link between immigration levels and public Euroscepticism. Public Euroscepticism can still be low even if immigration levels are high.

移民是否会在欧盟成员国引发公众对欧洲的怀疑？

许多研究已经在反移民和疑欧态度之间建立了强有力的联系。但这种关系是否一定意味着更多的移民会增加欧盟成员国公众对欧洲的怀疑？我通过分析2009-2017年期间的移民数据和欧洲晴雨表调查数据来评估这个问题。分析表明，没有证据表明个人对欧洲的怀疑程度会随着实际移民水平的增加而增加。这一结果表明，反移民和疑欧态度之间的强烈联系并不一定转化为移民水平和公众疑欧态度间的强烈联系。即使移民水平很高，公众对欧洲的怀疑仍然很低。

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.
