Britain's relationship with the EU has always been riddled with
doubt, scepticism and awkwardness. This much-needed new book
examines why, how and with what effect the EU has become such a
contentious issue in UK politics. It places the debate in
historical context by starting with an overview of debates about
membership in the 1950s and 1960s and then goes on to examine the
impact of Britain's membership since 1973 across core policy areas,
including economic and monetary union, agriculture, and foreign and
security policy. Andrew Geddes outlines major changes in the scope
of the European project and assesses how central, devolved and
local governments have responded to the EU. The book also assesses
the EU's impact on domestic policies, assessing debates within and
between the main parties and charting the rise of Euroscepticism as
a key trend in contemporary British politics. Engagingly written,
this text provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis both of
the EU's impact on Britain and of Britain's contribution to the EU.
