Happy to share this new article in European Union Politics, written with @bjarneck.bsky.social. In the paper, we ask: have high and growing levels of income inequality undermined support for the EU, as some have claimed? Existing studies have produced very mixed results in this regard (1/5)

The project is collectively funded by the Belgian @frsFNRS-@FWOVlaanderen Excellence of Science (EOS) research programme.

The website offers more detailed information about the project’s scope and aims, the research team, (planned) data collections, publications, and general announcements.

The project focuses on citizens’ perceptions of differentness and similarity (PoDS), polarization amongst citizens, and dissatisfaction with politicians. Data collections (both quantitative and qualitative) are scheduled in Belgium, for example around the upcoming 2024 elections.

The NotLikeUs research project just launched its website! 🧑‍💻 notlikeus.be   This project is a collaboration of Political Science researchers from seven Belgian universities (KULeuven UAntwerpen, UCLouvain, UGhent, ULBruxelles, UNamur, VUBrussel).
