to assess the composition of Eurosceptics and their potential for political influence at the European and national levels. This Policy Paper argues that Euroscepticism represents an over-inclusive category and calls for a more precise distinction between more moderate Euroscepticism and Europhobia. The argument is developed in three parts: 1. Multiple facets of Euroscepticism A review of existing definitions and typologies leads us to two categorisations. The first identifies four sub-stantive roots of Euroscepticism: democracy; national sovereignty; liberalism, austerity, and soli-darity; and identity. Arguing along these four lines, Eurosceptics criticise or reject the European Union (EU) as a political system, as a free movement area, and increasingly also as an Economic and Monetary Union. We further distinguish two degrees of the phenomenon: Eurosceptics are the more moderate politi-cal forces expressing vocal criticism against the Union and its policies and calling for reform. Europhobes refer to those that reject European belonging and call for an exit from the EU, the Euro, and/or the Schengen area. 2. Widespread and heterogeneous Euroscepticism
