Viac o knihe

Focusing on the strategies of Eurosceptic Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), the book examines their paradoxical success in elections versus their operational challenges within the political system they oppose. Through over 100 interviews, it identifies four distinct strategies employed by these MEPs, highlighting the interplay between institutional context and individual preferences. Additionally, it addresses the implications of Eurosceptics' growing influence on the European Parliament and the legitimacy of the European Union, making it a valuable resource for scholars of European politics.
