Opposing Europe in the European Parliament

More about the book

Focusing on the strategies employed by Eurosceptic Members of the European Parliament, the book examines their paradoxical success in elections versus their operational challenges within a system they oppose. Through over 100 interviews, it identifies four distinct strategies used by these MEPs, highlighting how institutional contexts and personal preferences shape their actions. Additionally, it reflects on the implications of Eurosceptic parties for the European Parliament's legitimacy and the future of European integration, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars in related fields.
