PUBLIC ISSUESPUBLIC ISSUES
16
Public Agenda:National Issues• The list with national issues on the public agenda was drafted during
the Oslo Meeting (May 2000), and checked during the qualitative phase. Almost all issues look to be important for the SEE public, with notable differences.
• However a large gap between the political, intellectual and media elite - as they were captured during the qualitative phase - and the public are to be underlined. The elite is more focused on ethnic issues, historical disputes, and philosophical analysis, whilst the public is more concerned with unemployment, corruption, poverty, inflation and family income.
17
Public Agenda Quantitative Measurement
• Unemployment• Corruption• Poverty• Crime• Inflation• Family income• Stability of the State• Drug and alcohol abuse
• Jobs for our children• My country’s acceptance into EU
and/or NATO• Legal system• Ethnic conflicts• Lack of morality• Welfare system• Inadequate bureaucracy
“There are many problems facing our country today. I'm going to hand you a card that lists some. Please pick and rank what you believe are the three most important issues”.
18
• The three most important issues for SEE are: – unemployment, – poverty and – corruption.

PERSONAL FEARSPERSONAL FEARS
27
Public Agenda: Personal Fears
• Personal fears (or potential threats to the personal life) are usually in the field of personal health, job security, future of children, pensions etc. When personal fears are almost the same as national issues, the public believe that their personal lives are profoundly affected by national policies.
• That is the case in all SEE countries.
“What do you fear the most in the present?”Open answer question-top of mind answer.
