How Did We Get Here? A Brief History of Britain’s Membership of the EU

Research output: Non-textual form › Web publication/site

Abstract

The shape of the UK’s relations with the EU has been defined by its unique historical understanding of its place in the world, writes Daniel Kenealy. He argues that, more recently, the increasing Eurosceptic dimension of the Conservative party and the electoral threat from UKIP combined to make a referendum on membership a likely eventuality.
