Part of Center for European Studies Lunchtime Symposium Speaker Series

Though the European Union (EU) now operates under the umbrella of a single market, there is still great variation in the levels of development and the economic characteristics of its various regions. Some of these regions are further behind than others and are consequently eligible for investments from the EU’s regional development fund. These targeted investments are meant to help lagging regions catch up to the rest of the EU. At the same time, these lagging regions are also frequently home to some of the highest levels of Euroscepticism. In his talk, Mike Webb, Ph.D. candidate, UF Department of Political Science, will share his ongoing analysis of how EU efforts to foster economic development regionally affect support for the EU at the individual level.

Featured Speaker:  Mike Webb, Ph.D. candidate, UF Political Science
