Everyday Europe: Immigration, Transnational Mobility and the "Wicked Problem" of Brexit

quantitative survey: a computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) administered to quota-samples of 1000 resident “national” respondents in each of the six EU partner countries, plus a further 250 “migrant” respondents from each of Romania and Turkey resident in each of the other five countries (excepting Turks in Spain, whose number is too small). The total CATI questionnaires collected are thus an impressive N=8500. The second research instrument is the semi-structured qualitative interview survey called aimed at exploring in more detail the “meaning” of the participants’ cross-border mobilities and activities. For this latter survey, quota-samples were specified of 10 “nationals” per country for each subsample of the survey, hence 60 across the six EU countries, plus 50 Romanian and 50 Turkish respondents in their five host countries, for a total N of 160 interviews. Taken together, EUCROSS and EUMEAN represent a robust, complementary research design generating a mass of data which form the empirical backbone of the book.
