Responsiveness in Governmental Position Formation in Times of Crisis

The thesis aims at exploring why member state governments vary in their responses to the preferences of citizens when forming their positions for EU-level crisis decision-making. Given the high public salience of European policy issue in times of crisis, why are some national governments responsive and others not, even though population opinion is similar across member states?
