MAJOR EDITED BOOK ON EUROSCEPTICISM BY SEI SCHOLARS A major two-volume book on 'Opposing Europe? The Comparative Party Politics of Euroscepticism in Contemporary Europe' edited by SEI-based scholars Aleks Szczerbiak and Paul Taggart has been published by Oxford University Press. According to the publisher: "'Opposing Europe?' provides the first comprehensive review of party-based Euroscepticism across the breadth of contemporary Europe, and the first in-depth comparative academic study of Euroscepticism. It is a groundbreaking, 'state of the art' book that provides a definitive review of a key issue in European politics. It is also one of the few attempts to integrate the fields of EU studies with both West European and East European studies in order to draw lessons about the way in which the EU interacts with domestic politics in both member and non-member states. Examining the way that parties position themselves and compete on the European issue provides powerful lessons for the trajectory of the European integration project more generally and on the prospects for the emergence of a European political system and polity."
