An anthology of skeptical viewpoints of European integration has
long been missing. Yet the need for students to have a spectrum of
opinion on the EU has never been greater. This reader provides a
timely corrective as the euro has plunged in value during its early
existence and the Danes have voted against joining up. Exploring
underreported and often mischaracterized 'Euro-skeptic' arguments
over the goals and methods of European integration, this collection
brings together 'Euro-skeptic,' 'Euro-pessimistic,' and
'Euro-phobic' speeches, essays, and other documents (some for the
first time in English translation) that illustrate the range of
opposition to the European Union. Balancing against the
integrationist goal of federalism, the book gives a full airing to
the various arguments against 'ever-closer union.' The reader
offers classic statements of the 'Europe of the Nations' views of
Charles de Gaulle and Margaret Thatcher, as well as the current
French 'sovereignists' such as Charles Pasqua and Jean-Pierre
Chev_nement and includes more recent British arguments by Michael
Portillo and Noel Malcolm. There are interviews with and analyses
of far-right or 'national-right' movements and their leaders-Jsrg
Haider and the Austrian Freedom party and Jean-Marie Le Pen and the
French National Front. The special case of Norway-the only country
that has said 'no' (twice) to EU membership-is analyzed by a
Norwegian scholar, and two historians argue that European
integration overall is in some sense a great illusion or a
misguided 'division of the West.'
