The article explores why some regions in Europe are more supportive of the European Union than others. It suggests that regions with strong regional identities are more likely to support the EU. The researchers found that regions with distinct languages and regions from federal member states tend to be less skeptical of the EU. They used statistical analysis and interviews with regional representatives to reach these conclusions. This study adds to our understanding of Euroskepticism and highlights the growing importance of regional identities in Europe.
