Determinants of the EU's Image in Post-Brexit UK
Abstract
Since the United Kingdom officially left the European Union in 2020, a series of geopolitical developments, driven by the foreign policy of the Trump administration, have led to a closer relationship between the UK and the EU. Additionally, public opinion regarding Brexit has evolved over time. The most recent Eurobarometer survey indicates that the percentage of UK nationals expressing a positive image of the EU (34.7%) exceeds those with a negative view (22.8%), while the largest proportion remains neutral (42.5%). A key question arises: Have the factors shaping UK public perception of the EU before and after Brexit undergone significant changes? This research aims to address this question by utilizing the most recent Eurobarometer EB 100.2 dataset, testing whether the factors identified prior to Brexit continue to hold relevance.
