Understanding the Views of Citizens and Political Parties," edited by Sergiu Gherghina and Sergiu Mișcoiu. We know little about the extent to which the opinions of the public about the EU converge with those of political parties; how the public, politicians, or parties differ in their attitudes about the EU; why a consensus or dissensus emerges at the level of the public or of political parties; and how this evolves. This thematic issue aims to gather contributions that can address some of these gaps in the literature. It welcomes theoretical articles that discuss the origins of consensus, methodological articles that refer to the measurement of consensus, and empirical articles that analyze the dynamic and manifestation of consensus. Authors interested in submitting a paper for this issue are encouraged to read the full call for papers: https://www.cogitatiopress.com/politicsandgovernance/pages/view/nextissues#ConsensusEU Abstracts welcome by 30 January 2025.
