’Anyone wishing to understand the historical background to current political and economic issues relating to the European union cannot
do better than start with this clear and accessible account.’ – George Peden, University of Stirling, UK
This book combines an historical account with political analysis to illustrate the changing and multifaceted nature of British and European politics.
Key questions addressed include:
• Why has Europe had such an explosive impact on British politics?
• What impelled British policymakers to join the European Community and to undertake one of the radical, if not the most radical, changes in modern
British history?
• What have been the perceived advantages and disadvantages of British membership of the European Union?
• Why has British membership of the European Union rarely attracted a national consensus?
