  Article:   SOCIAL IDENTITIES AND SOCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE EUROPEAN UNION IN ROMANIA.

  Abstract:   Since their first application, Eurobarometer surveys have been indicating in Romania one of the highest levels of support for the European Union and for European integration. This paper attempts to capture the profiles of sustainers and opponents of the EU integration and enlargement, looking at social identities in terms of categorical identities and self-identifications. The analysis is carried out on national representative samples from various surveys: Romanian Public Opinion Barometers (2001, 2002) for the investigation of support for integration; the European Values Survey (2005) concerning the self-ascribed European citizenship; and the European Social Survey (2006) regarding the issue of further enlargement of the EU.

Keywords: social identity; support for the European Union; EU integration; EU enlargement
