    Gibt es eine europäische Identität? Der Begriff "europäisch" hängt davon ab, was der Einzelne unter "Europa" versteht. Es kann durch sprachliche, religiöse, rechtliche, geografische, kulturelle, historische, wirtschaftliche oder politische Konzepte definiert werden. Oft ist es eine sehr individuelle Mischung aus allen Konzepten. Manchmal wird "Europa" auch als Synonym für "die EU" verwendet. Diese Arbeit versucht jedoch weder "Europa" noch "europäisch" zu definieren. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit, als Diskussionspapier, ist es zum Diskurs über die Existenz einer solchen Identität beizutragen. Es zeigt die Ergebnisse von Umfragen, die 2020, 2021 und 2022 in allen Regionen Spaniens, des Vereinigten Königreichs, Frankreichs, Italiens und Deutschlands durchgeführt wurden. Die spanischen autonomen Gemeinschaften und Städte wurden in allen genannten Jahren befragt, Italiens Regionen und die Regionen des Vereinigte Königreich in den Jahren 2021 und 2022 und die deutschen Bundesländer und die Regionen Frankreichs im Jahr 2022. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass es eine europäische Identität mit interessanten Unterschieden über die Jahre hinweg gibt. Unabhängig von der Zugehörigkeit zu einer europäischen Organisation, wie z. B. der EU, fühlt sich die Mehrheit der Teilnehmer in fast allen befragten Regionen als Europäer. Does a European Identity exist? "European" depends on the individual concept of what signify "Europe". It could be defined by linguistic, religious, legal, geographic, cultural, historical, economic, or political concepts. Often it is a very individual mix out of all concepts. Sometimes "Europe" is use as a synonym of "the EU". This work does try to define neither "Europe" nor "European". The aim of this paper is to contribute as a discussion paper to the discourse on the existence of such an identity. It shows the results of surveys in 2020, 2021 and 2022 made in all regions of Spain, the UK, France, Italy, and Germany. The Spanish autonomous communities and cities have been surveyed in all the mentioned years, Italian regions and the regions of the UK in 2021 and 2022 and the German Länder and French regions in 2022. The results show that there is a European Identity with interesting differences over the years. Regardless the connection to a European organisation, such like the EU, the majority of the participants of almost all surveyed regions feel European.

    This article highlights the limitations of unidimensional analyses in the comparative welfare state literature and emphasises the need for a more holistic, multidimensional approach incorporating social spending, welfare state outputs, and outcomes. To illustrate the utility of a multidimensional approach, we examine the long-term welfare state trajectories of Sweden and Germany, prototypical socialdemocratic and conservative welfare states, respectively, and compare them against the baseline of Europe's prototypical liberal welfare state, the United Kingdom. The social spending (expenditure) and output (generosity) allowed us to identify significant changes in the Swedish welfare state (i.e., retrenchment). The outcome dimension alerts us to a policy drift in the German Welfare State, as relatively stable public spending and welfare generosity until the first half of the 2000s were nonetheless associated with sharply increased inequality and poverty. Overall, our findings suggest that a holistic, multidimensional approach is necessary to fully understand the complexities of welfare state change and continuity, as focusing solely on one dimension can lead to analytical misjudgments. The sharp rise in inequality and poverty across countries raises doubts about whether policymakers and researchers rely too much on outdated assumptions of normality that fail to meet the welfare state realities of today.

    We suggest that stabilizing the baseline income can make low-wage workers more tolerant towards high income earners. We present evidence of this attitude in the UK by exploiting the introduction of the National Minimum Wage (NMW), which institutionally sets a baseline pay reducing the risk of income losses and providing a clear reference point for British workers at the lower end of the income distribution. Based on data from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), we show that workers who benefited from the NMW program became relatively more tolerant of high incomes and more likely to support and vote for the Conservative Party. As far as tolerance for high incomes is related to tolerance of inequality, our results may suggest that people advocate for equality also because they fear income losses below a given reference point.
