题目：Emergency politics, Mass sentiment, and the EU during COVID
内容提要
During crises, do emergency politics fragilize the EU polity by alienating Europeans? A recent literature suggest that executive decisions in hard times can spur negative European sentiment, increase polarization in the public and thus create more problems than solutions. The Covid-19 pandemic offers an ideal opportunity to study this important issue. However, stuying mass sentiment towards the EU is mostly constrained by imperfect survey data. We tackle this challenge with an empirical strategy that combines two original data sources:first, we use policy process analysis to identify key EU decision; second, we leverage Twitter data to measure sentiment. As a result we can study whether key EU decisions impacted EU sentiment, and whether this impact is conditional on the level of EU competence, prior politicisation and problem pressure. Wefind that EU decisions impact EU sentiment positively and de-polarize it (even among highly politicized decisions). Low prior politicisation and health carerelated decisions increase the positive impact of EU actions. There is thus no punishement of the EU for acting outside its remit. Ourfindings have important implications for the politics of polity maintenance in the EU.
