Public Opinion, Identity, and Security in Europe The Centre for Comprehensive European Security at the University of Southampton is pleased to invite paper submissions for an upcoming workshop on Public Opinion, Identity, and Security in Europe. The workshop will take place on June 16 at the University of Southampton. Europe is currently navigating a period marked by significant political upheaval and realignments – both domestically amidst the rising tide of populism and internationally with the second Trump Administration. We invite papers that explore the relationship between identity (broadly defined) and public opinion about European security. Globalisation, energy security, and the rise of a multi-polar world (inter alia) significantly challenge the ability of nation states to meet the aspirations of voters in both domestic and international affairs. Yet, the nation state retains its place as the primary site of political contest and preference aggregation. We seek papers that explore the how this space between expectation and delivery has implications for comprehensive European security.
Funded workshop at Southampton on the topic of "Public Opinion, Identity, and Security in Europe"!
Workshop will be held on June 16. Please submit your proposals/abstract by May 21. (Please help circulate widely!)
Kamil Zwolski, John Denham, and I are the coordinators of this event.
