Description

This book examines Britain's reputation as an "awkward partner" in the E.U. Jim Buller focuses on the policy of successive Conservative governments, asking why one of the most electorally successful political parties in the twentieth century eventually tore itself apart over Europe.Isolating key events, Buller analyzes the motivations of the Conservative governments. He argues that far from being a "semi-detached" partner, British economic policy was increasingly "Europeanized" during this period.
