Focus groups data analysis

Six focus groups to be conducted in France, Greece, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain in order to explore and interpret what people have in mind when they think of a common foreign, security and defence policy. WP7 will design the focus groups with two goals in mind: an explorative one, whereby it will get knowledge of the general public’s cognitive map in regard to a low salience topic; and an interpretive one, whereby it will inductively explore the ideas and feelings people have of problems in these policy sectors to identify considerations behind their opinions and policy preferences.
