    What Should We Expect of `Erasmus Generations'?
    in Journal of Common Market Studies , Volume 49, Issue 5, September 2011 ,  2011 ,  1113-1140
    The Erasmus programme promotes student mobility within the EU largely on the assumption that mobile students will become more pro-European. This article presents the results of a panel study of Erasmus students which suggest that, while former Erasmus students may be more pro-European than their peers, this is because students who choose to take part are already more pro-European. The attitudes to Europe and voting preferences of Erasmus students do not seem to diverge from their non-mobile peers while they are abroad. Although the programme may have other benefits, expecting it to create Europhile `Erasmus generations' seems unrealistic.
