DOI: 10.1177/1465116507073290 © 2007 SAGE Publications The Europhile Fringe?Regionalist Party Support for European IntegrationUniversity of Chicago, USA The relationship between European integration and regionalist parties is still a largely unexplored area of research. In this paper, I evaluate whether regionalist parties perceive the European Union (EU) as an ally or an enemy. Using expert surveys, I assess the views of regionalist parties on European integration and I find that regionalist political parties are consistently pro-EU across time, space, and issue area. I find further support for this finding in a case study of the Scottish National Party.
