dc.description.abstract | This dissertation examines the issue of euroscepticism in the UK, particularly the current british prime minister David Cameron's attitudes towards the European Union (EU). The UK had always a difficult relationship with the EU that led it to be considered a Eurosceptic country. British Euroscepticism had a multifaceted nature that contributed to its longevity in the UK. It had a great impact on british politics in general and the Conservative Party in particular. The latter had always a special relationship with the EU as well as ambivalent attitudes towards Britain's European integration. Recently, the question re-emerged with Cameron's speech calling for an In/Out referendum on Britain's continued membership in the EU. Thus, the Prime Minister gave another re-birth of british euroscepticism. Cameron's attitudes and policies towards the EU can be deduced through the analysis of some of his selected speeches. Those speeches show that Cameron's attitudes are a product of: being a soft-Eurosceptic that supports the EU as long as it serves the british interests, his Eurosceptic party's pressure, his pro-European coalition partner opposing the withdrawal, and working for the election campaign aiming to win the General Elections. | ar |
