Synopsis
As the EU enters an increasingly uncertain phase after the 2016 Brexit referendum, Euroscepticism continues to become an increasingly embedded phenomenon within party systems, non-party groups and within the media. Yet, academic literature has paid little attention to the emergence of, and increased development of, transnational and pan-European networks of EU opposition. As the 'gap' between Europe's mainstream political elites and an increasingly sceptical public has widened, pan-European spheres of opposition towards the EU have developed and evolved. The volume sets out to explain how such an innately contradictory phenomenon as transnational Euroscepticism has emerged. It draws on a variety of perspectives and case studies in a number of spheres - the European Parliament, political parties, the media, civil society and public opinion. Examining to what extent the pan-European dimension of Euroscepticism is becoming increasingly influential, it argues that opposition to European integration has for too long been viewed somewhat narrowly, through the paradigm of national party politics. This text will be of key interest to scholars, students and professionals in EU politics, European studies, political parties, and more broadly to comparative politics and international relations.

"This important new collection pushes forward our understanding of Euroscepticism by extending the range of study to new domains in innovative ways. Taken together, the contributions to this volume mark out new empirical and conceptual territories. This is the first work to deal with this most international of phenomena by properly considering its trans-national and pan-European characteristics. This book will become an essential component in the full understanding of Euroscepticism." - Paul Taggart, University of Sussex, UK.

"This tightly edited and well-organized volume makes a sustained case for why Euroscepticism is no mere marginal phenomenon in European politics. Euroscepticism is not just central to European integration it is trans-national in nature and organization too. It is sometimes said that edited volumes do not advance theoretical understandings. This is emphatically not the case with this volume that breaks exciting new conceptual ground." - Ben Wellings, Monash University, Australia.
