Las actitudes hacia la Unión Europea en el contexto de crisis: España 2007-2012
Abstract
La confianza de los españoles en la Unión Europea ha caído drásticamente entre 2007 y 20012. Pero este indicador de apoyo “específico” no debe confundirse con otros de apoyo “difuso”, como la intensidad de los sentimientos de identidad con Europa. El apoyo difuso, que constituye una reserva de lealtad institucional, muestra una tendencia más ambigua que el apoyo específico: en España, la identidad europea no parece tan afectada por la crisis como otras actitudes. Ahora bien, el descenso en los niveles de confianza en la Unión Europea puede tener, en el medio plazo, un efecto erosivo sobre los niveles de identidad europea. En este artículo se revisan y contrastan algunas explicaciones teóricas para dar cuenta de este fuerte descenso de la confianza en la Unión Europea. Los recursos educativos se revelan como una fuente importante de retención de confianza, así como también la percepción de que el funcionamiento institucional del propio país es peor que el de la Unión Europea.
Spaniards' trust in the European Union has fallen dramatically between 2007 and 2001.2 But this 'specific' indicator of support should not be confused with others of 'diffuse' support, such as the intensity of feelings of identity with Europe. But this indicator of 'specific' support should not be confused with others of 'diffuse' support, such as the intensity of feelings of identity with Europe. Diffuse support, which constitutes a reservoir of institutional loyalty, shows a more ambiguous trend than specific support: in Spain, European identity does not seem to be as affected by the crisis as other attitudes. However, the decline in levels of trust in the European Union may, in the medium term, have an erosive effect on levels of European identity. This article reviews and contrasts some theoretical explanations for this sharp decline in trust in the European Union. Educational resources emerge as an important source of retained trust, as well as the perception that the institutional functioning of one's own country is worse than that of the European Union.
