    Public Opinion and the European Parliament
    in Journal of European Integration History , vol. 17, n. 1 ,  2011 ,  117-130
    The relationship between public opinion and the European Parliament has been marked for a long time by indifference or incomprehension. Public perception of Europe has been deteriorating over the past half-century in terms of trust and legitimacy. However, the situation became more complex, characterized by the development of real political attitudes towards the EU. Trying to enlighten them, the authors focus first on drawing up an evolutionary typology of European feeling, then on attitudes towards the European Parliament elections by universal suffrage. This parliamentary institution now has an indisputable reputation, but its visibility remained low and its powers unclear although they are increasing.
