“…More recent research focusing on the EU has also predominantly discussed the economic aspect of globalisation and unequal economic development it is facilitating. These analyses include issues of free trade arrangements and globalisation pressures (Lissowska 2002), relationship between de-industrialisation and economic decline (Hays et al 2019;Callaghan 2021), import shocks and austere working conditions (Colantone and Stanig 2018) or migration of workers from poorer to rich countries (May et al 2021;Arnorsson and Zoega 2018), to name a few. The results have shown that certain groups and regions in the EU have benefited economically from processes that can be linked to globalisation, while others are lagging in development, creating a sort of "winners" and "losers" of the globalisation process in Europe (Hays et al 2019;Lechler 2019;van Elsas 2017;Sassen 2010).…”

A recent rise in Euro-scepticism in the European Union can be linked to its unequal economic development as a consequence of globalisation. It has manifested itself in increasing support for radical right-wing parties, which is partly based on anti-globalist sentiments. One of the major expressions of this anti-globalist and Eurosceptic views has been "Brexit", the UK's withdrawal from the EU in 2020. Seven years before Brexit, another European country, Croatia, joined the EU. The main aim of this paper is to understand how attitudes towards globalisation differ between UK and Croatian students by analysing and comparing the students' values, beliefs and perceptions regarding globalisation generally and EU integration more specifically.The study was conducted in 2019-2020 and consisted of a questionnaire survey on a sample of n=283 geography students (154 in Croatia and 129 in the UK). The results demonstrate that both Croatian and UK students tend to see globalisation as a positive process (57.6 %) with the largest benefits being an increase in exchange of knowledge and scientific advancements, and growth of economy. While both cohorts agree that the main negative consequences globally are increased economic inequalities and exploitation of workers, several differences in perception of negative consequences of globalisation in their respective countries are also identified.
