Since the advent of the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, a key turning point
in terms of the crystallisation of opposition towards the European
Union (EU), Euroscepticism has become a transnational phenomenon.
The term 'Euroscepticism' has become common political language in
all EU member states and, with the advent of the Eurozone, refugee
and security crises have become increasingly 'embedded' within
European nation states. Bringing together a collection of essays by
established and up-and-coming authors in the field, this handbook
paints a fuller, more holistic picture of the extent to which the
Eurosceptic debate has influenced the EU and its member states.
Crucially, it also focuses on what the consequences of this
development are likely to be for the future direction of the
European project. By adopting a broad-based, thematic approach, the
volume centres on theory and conceptualisation, political parties,
public opinion, non-party groups, the role of referendums - and the
media - and of scepticism within the EU institutions. It also
reflects on the future of Euroscepticism studies following the
United Kingdom's vote to leave the EU. Containing a full range of
thematic contributions from eminent scholars in the field, The
Routledge Handbook of Euroscepticism is a definitive frame of
reference for academics, practitioners and those with an interest
in the debate about the EU, and more broadly for students of
European Studies, EU and European Politics.
