?:abstract
  • This paper analyses the impact of border residence and individual transnationalism on eurosceptic attitudes among the French and German publics. Previous research suggested that people living close to a national border are less prone to be eurosceptical as they benefit more directly from European integration and are more likely to have a cosmopolitan worldview. This paper aims at improving and complementing this research in two ways. First, it enhances measurement by using a more exact distinction between border and non-border districts. Second, it extends theory by studying the mechanisms underlying this effect. It argues that the ‘border effect’ is driven by individual behaviour rather than being a contextual effect in itself. Not the fact of living in a border district as such, but operating across borders makes respondents less likely to be eurosceptical. Moreover, the paper analyses the potential influence of center-periphery relations and (sub-)national framing on the border effect. A multilevel analysis of pooled Eurobarometer data for France and Germany (2006) show that (1) the border effect only holds in Germany, where the potential for subnational framing is stronger, (2) it is mediated by individual transnationalism, and (3) it is driven by respondents living at a border to a new member state and close to a foreign-language border.
