The UK Challenge to Europeanization - by Karine Tournier-Sol (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Britain's part in the future of European integration remains at the forefront of political debate, with the prospect of a European Union exit referendum a real possibility. For EU membership to be so contentious for a long-standing member-state rules out problems of adjustment and accommodation. Euroscepticism is not marginal or temporary in the UK, it is a persistent and embedded facet of British political society. This timely book considers the UK as profoundly Eurosceptic, and analyses its distinctive Euroscepticism and resistance to Europeanisation in many aspects of its culture and in its core institutions. Addressing a range of topics from the press to defence, it cuts across history, politics, cultural studies, economics and international relations and offers a rich, original and interdisciplinary contribution to the emerging field of Eurosceptic studies"--

Book Synopsis

This timely contribution pulls no punches and views the UK as institutionally Eurosceptic across politics and society, from the press to defence. It represents a rich and original contribution to the emerging field of Eurosceptic studies, and a key contribution to this important issue.
