The Russian invasion of Ukraine has pushed the EU into a new phase where both the political elites and the public start to rethink its foreign and security policies. This paper uses a unique survey in seven European countries in the wake of the war to examine European public opinion on how the EU's foreign and security policies should be made and how autonomous they should be. We find that Europeans not only favour increasing military capacity at the national or NATO level but also prefer increasing military capacity at the EU level, though to a lesser degree. We also show that perceptions of both short-term and long-term threats, European identification and mainstream left-wing ideology lead Europeans to favour a more militarily powerful, unified and autonomous EU.
俄罗斯对乌克兰的入侵将欧盟推向了一个新阶段，政治精英和公众都开始重新思考其外交和安全政策。本文利用战后在七个欧洲国家进行的一项独特调查，来研究欧洲公众对于欧盟外交和安全政策应如何制定以及应具有多大自主性的看法。我们发现，欧洲人不仅赞成在国家或北约层面增强军事能力，也倾向于在欧盟层面增强军事能力，尽管程度稍低。我们还表明，对短期和长期威胁的认知、欧洲认同感以及主流左翼意识形态，促使欧洲人支持一个军事上更强大、更统一且更具自主性的欧盟。
