• W3122395120 abstract "Abstract. This article investigates the relationship between political knowledge and trust in the EU among the Romanian citizens between 2002 and 2009. It uses individual level data from the Candidate Countries (2001-2004) and Standard Eurobarometers (2005-2009) to check whether there is a direct linkage between the decreasing level of trust and the increasing level of knowledge in the most Eurooptimist new member state. The statistical analysis reveals that the more citizens know about the EU, the more they trust it. Such a result gains supplementary relevance in the context of decreasing support. Two other general results are relevant for the Romanian case. First, although the level of political knowledge increases as the accession gets closer, it continues to be quite low. Second, the Romanian citizens constantly overestimate their knowledge about the EU. Keywords: European Union, citizens, political knowledge, trust Introduction Por approximately one decade, the Romanian citizens display the highest level of support for the European Union (EU) among the member states (Eurobarometers 2001-2009). Such an observation is not surprising as evidence indicates that until their accession, the citizens from candidate countries display higher levels of support than those coming from the old member states (Jacobs and Pollack, 2006). In this group, Romania is the absolute leader with impressive levels of support peaking almost 80% (Gherghina 201 0). Another particularity of this most recent joiner is that its citizens have low and very low levels of political information about the EU (G hergh ina and Jiglau 2008; Gherghina 2010). This article aims to investigate the relationship between these two characteristics. In doing so, I combine exploratory and inferential analysis, using descriptive and bivariate statistical methods at individual level. The study uses data from the Candidate Countries Eurobarometers (CCEBs 2001 - 2004) and Standard Eurobarometers (EBs 2005-2009), examining the 2001-2009 period. In descriptive terms, I summarize the longitudinal evolutions of four different aspects, two emphasizing the EU trust and and two knowledge related. On the one hand, I account for the trust Romanians vest in the EU and the image they project for themselves about the EU. On the other hand, I consider both objective and perceived levels of knowledge about the EU, comparing their trends over time. Such comparisons are done having the 2007 accession as a reference point to check whether this moment modified the trust and/ or knowledge trends. This analysis is embedded within the broader theoretical framework of types of support and motivations leading to popular support for the EU, mostly conducted in the old member states (Gabel and Palmer 1995; Gabel 1998; Hix 1999). In theory, Easton (1 965) differentiates between types of support and labels them as diffuse (general) and specific (particular). Empirically, starting from this general typology, Kopecky and Mudde (2002) build two dimensions of support (for the EU and for European integration) and identify four different types of support: EU optimists, EU pessimists, Europhiles, Europhobes. Their research indicates that, in practice, the support for the EU is multi-layered, involving elites, political parties, and citizens. At elite and party level, there was a widespread consensus about the necessity of the EU accession, the entire 2004 electoral campaign transforming this into a salient issue on the agenda. Regarding the determinants of the EU support at citizens' level, there were a few competing explanations. The most prominent lies in the perception of economic benefits from membership (Eichenberg and Dalton 1993; Anderson and Reichert 1996; Gabel and Whitten 1997; Gabel 1998). A second explanation emphasizes the direct linkage between trust in the national institutions and the EU with citizens satisfied with the performance of the former being also more confident in the latter (Sanchez-Cuenca, 2000; Rohrschneider 2002). …" @default.
