Abstract We theorize that people’s perceptions of national hierarchy are aligned not only with longstanding cultural schemas of development but also with schemas of cultural wealth. We use data from the Nation Brands Index surveys to examine how European publics’ evaluate their own country and other European countries across many attributes. We find that European publics rank northwest European countries highest on developmental attributes and southwestern European nations highest on cultural attributes, while they rank eastern European countries lowest in both categorizations. Moreover, we show that publics’ rankings of countries load to two related yet distinct factors, the contents of which closely reflect schemas of development and cultural wealth. This evidence suggests that these two distinct schemas are simultaneously present in Europeans’ perceptions of national hierarchy.

欧洲国家等级制度思维导图


摘要 我们认为，人们对国家等级的看法不仅与长期的文化发展模式相一致，而且与文化财富的模式相一致。我们使用国家品牌指数调查的数据来研究欧洲公众如何在许多方面评价自己的国家和其他欧洲国家。我们发现，欧洲公众对西北欧国家的发展属性评价最高，对西南部欧洲国家的文化属性评价最高，而对东欧国家的评价则在这两个类别中最低。此外，我们还表明，公众对国家的排名受两个相关但又不同的因素影响，其内容密切反映了发展模式和文化财富。这一证据表明，这两种截然不同的模式同时存在于欧洲人对国家等级制度的看法中。
