Abstract

A cause-and-effect analysis of formation of opinions of population of Ukraine regarding regional geopolitical unions — European Union and Customs Union — grounded on the data of nation-wide representative sociological surveys has been conducted. It was found out that ethnonational identities, life experience, ideological views, and opinions about the unions influence attitudes towards these unions.
