| Title | Explaining the level of individual Euroscepticism in Hungary |
| Summary | Economic, identity, institutional, political partisanship and cognitive political mobility theories all explain to some extent the individual level attitudes towards the European Union in its member states. This paper investigates the applicability of these theories – and of an additional policy interest theory - in the Hungarian context. Not only the effects of the variables derived from these theories, but also the changes in these effects are identified and tested. Data from the last seven years’ Eurobarometer surveys are used to build nine pooled cross-sectional linear regression models, in which the roots of the level of individual Euroscepticism in Hungary are identified. On the one hand, the results show that most of the general theories actually explain to some extent the level of individual Euroscepticism in Hungary. On the other hand, some deviations from the general patterns and theories are present in the models. Besides, the changes in the effects show the probable influence of domestic events, about which some not tested speculations are presented. |
