Description and Table of Contents
Description
Anthony Forster argues that euroscepticism, in addition to being a political stance, displays the seeds of becoming a new faith. Through a detailed analysis of British post-war politics, he shows the development of a core set of beliefs, a history of persecution, displays of moral rectitude in opposing Europe and the power of scepticism to change existing beliefs.
This challenging new history of euroscepticism will be a valuable resource for undergraduate students of politics and European studies.
