Abstract

Culture, Practice and Europeanization (CPE) is an open access peer reviewed platform for publishing research-based articles predominantly dealing with research into the multiplicity of social processes, interactions, and policies relating to Europeanization and international encounters in Europe. Perspectives may be interdisciplinary. Empirical, theoretical and conceptual texts of significant originality will be considered for publication. CPE publishes foremost full-length original articles, but will also consider original reviews, conference speeches, and notes in order to inform the research community of most recent developments. CPE welcomes contributions that seek to enhance understanding of social processes relating to internationalization and further trans-national activities and processes in Europe.

Summary

Introduction

In spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic reached Europe. Since European societies have found it difficult to handle the resulting crisis: the pandemic has strained European healthcare systems and propelled economic downturns (Coibion et al, 2020; Khurshid &Khan, 2020; Saunders, 2020). European societies have found it difficult to handle the resulting crisis: the pandemic has strained European healthcare systems and propelled economic downturns Despite the rapidly accumulating number of studies investigating the pandemic’s impact on society, little is known about how it has affected attitudes towards European (institutionalized) solidarity (for a recent assessment of informal solidarity, see Voicu et al., 2020). There are good reasons for connecting the issues of European solidarity and the pandemic and seeking to understand their relationship. For one thing, both are phenomena affecting transnational societies.
