About the conference

Domestic Contestation of the European Union presents a collection of articles, written by leading scholars of EU politics in Europe and the United States, that centres on interplay between voters, parties, and policy-makers in reshaping the debate on Europe. Analysing novel Europe-wide datasets of voters and parties and using state-of-the art observational and experimental methods, the articles in this workshop will shed new light on the increasingly multilevel nature of democratic politics in Europe.
