Project Objectives

Our mission is to evaluate the ways in which EU market governance policies, in particular, the NGEU funds influence the political opinions and behaviors of small and medium business owners and employees. We hope to offer a grasp of the funds’ influence in various contexts by  comparing Spain, Italy, and Germany. Additionally, EU BUSINESS aims to develop and test a novel theory that explains how common market governance influences political system legitimation and support in the EU.

Three main objectives serve as the framework for our research:

  • Evaluation of NGEU Funds’ Effect on Political Support
  • Comparative Analysis of Spain, Germany, and Italy
  • Evaluation of Policy Preferences
