Abstract

The media, political authorities (national and European) and many other academic works of research often refer to opinion studies regarding citizens’ attitudes towards the project of integration concerning the European Union.  Interest in knowing about these attitudes dates back to the beginning of the project, however the methods used to carry out these studies have not always been the same. We propose an analysis of the underlying theoretical elements regarding the preparation of the surveys which are carried out among citizens in order to gather data on their opinions of the current European Union.
