Research project This project examines the relationship between collective national identities and welfare state attitudes.
This project examines the, almost taken for granted, relationship between collective national identities and welfare state attitudes in three different ways. Firstly, by analyzing cross-country variations in the strength and character (civic and ethnic) of collective national identities. Secondly, by investigating the variation among individuals, and thirdly, by relating collective identities to different territorial levels (e.g. regional and European). Data comes primarilly from the European Social Survey (ESS)
