Policies with direct implications for average citizens, such as European integration, create an opportunity for extensive political discussions and critical examination of the issue. Given that such policies often create losers and winners, communities and groups may exert greater pressure on individuals to conform to specific norms. In the end, the study shows that attitude formation emerges as interplay between local and national dynamics. Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T20:49:28Z (GMT).
