"Why has Europe had such an explosive impact on British politics? What impelled British policy-makers to embrace a European destiny? Why did they proceed in a cautious, hesitant fashion? What have been the perceived advantages and disadvantages of British membership of the European Community/Union? These are some of the key questions addressed in Reluctant Europeans. The study focuses upon the response of British policy-makers and the public to two major challenges: the emergence of a dynamic European Community/Union and Britain's changing place in the world. In examining these themes, the authors unveil the close interconnection between domestic politics and polices toward Europe."--Jacket
