BRITAIN AND EUROPEAN INTEGRATION: THE AWKWARD PARTNER THESIS REVISITED
About this book
Thesis (M.A.) from the year 1999 in the subject Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1.7, York University, language: English, abstract: The argument advanced here is that the AP thesis presupposes a negative behaviour by UK governments vis-Ã -vis their European counterparts. This is explained by endogenous constraints that are imposed upon the core executive. These constraints are mainly caused by the divergence of domestic political forces. Slow and differentrates of adaptation to the EU decision-making level are to be emphasised. While central government has already adjusted to the EU level, it attempts to retain its 'gatekeeper' role between domestic and European political spheres. In contrast to the AP thesis, thispaper shall show that in the run-up to the SEA Britain was not more negative than other member states. The UK representatives made proposals and concessions, as did everyone else.
