Domestic transnationalism and the formation of pro-European sentiments. European Union Politics, 17 (3), pp. 457-4811465-1165https://hdl.handle.net/10016/34852Increasingly, research on attitudes towards the European project focuses on transnational practices. This article furthers the transnational approach by offering the first systematic analysis of how domestic transnationalism - i.e. transnational practices conducted in the home country - influences the formation of pro-European sentiments. We argue that domestic transnational activities foster recognition of common, transnational interests and identities that support the European integration project. Using a 2013 Eurobarometer, we show the distinct need to pay attention to domestic transnationalism. Individuals engaging in more domestic transnational activities display more pro-European sentiments in four of our five dependent variables. Moreover, the effect of domestic transnationalism is particularly intense among less-educated citizens.eng© The authorsAttitudesDomestic transnationalismEuropeanizationEducationCross-border mobilityresearch articleSociologíahttps://doi.org/10.1177/1465116516633536open access4573481EUROPEAN UNION POLITICS17AR/0000018210
