9780198782247: An Awkward Partner: Britain in the European Community

Inhaltsangabe

This is the third edition of an established textbook on Britain's role in the European Community. Britain joined the EC in 1973, over 20 years after the first of the European Communities was formed. Within a year, she had established a reputation for being at odds with major Community initiatives and for taking an independent point of view. This reputation was consolidated over the next 24 years. In this text, Stephen George surveys the policies that earned Britain this reputation, recording the role successive British governments have played in the European Community. He stresses the influence both of external circumstances and domestic political considerations in shaping these policies and analyzes some of the underlying political reasons for Britain's perceived awkwardness. In this third edition, Stephen George brings his analysis up to date, taking the story of the Major government through to its end in the 1997 General Election.
