Abstract

The United Kingdom had been a part of the European integration process since 1973. The 2016 referendum, in which British citizens voted to leave the EU, could be considered as an imaginary peak of tensions between the political priorities of the UK and the EU. The article therefore addresses the attitude of two major British political parties, the Conservative Party, and the Labour Party, towards European integration during the 2015 general election campaign. The article analyses the stance of these parties towards the EU by using two typologies of Euroscepticism. The first theoretical framework of Søren Riishøj determines the content of Euroscepticism. The second developed by Aleks Szczerbiak and Paul Taggart focuses on the intensity of its manifestation. The Analytical part is devoted to the research of the party positions themselves. The main goal is to answer whether the parties can be defined as hard or soft Eurosceptic. Additionally, it will be possible to compare the intensity of their Eurosceptic stances and analyse their attitude to the referendum pledge.
保守党和工党在2015年大选期间的欧洲怀疑主义
自1973年以来,联合王国一直是欧洲一体化进程的一部分。2016年英国公民投票决定退出欧盟(EU)的公投,可以被视为英国和欧盟政治优先事项之间紧张关系的假想高峰。因此,本文讨论了2015年大选期间英国两大政党保守党和工党对欧洲一体化的态度。本文运用欧洲怀疑主义的两种类型分析了这些政党对欧盟的立场。Søren Riishøj的第一个理论框架决定了欧洲怀疑主义的内容。第二种是由亚历克斯·什泽比亚克和保罗·塔格特提出的,侧重于其表现的强度。分析部分是对党的立场本身的研究。主要目标是回答这些政党是否可以被定义为强硬的或温和的欧洲怀疑论者。此外,还可以比较他们对欧洲的怀疑态度,并分析他们对公投承诺的态度。

期刊介绍: The Eastern Journal of European Studies (EJES) seeks to provide a forum for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary dialogue between ideas, and a framework for theoretical and empirical analyses covering major topics in European studies: European history, politics, European economy and European policies, EU community law, European culture and society. EJES encourages studies focusing on Central and Eastern Europe (including Eastern Neighbourhood) in order to better understand its transformations induced by the integration process and to address its specific challenges by supporting scientific debates on the general European theory and practice. Furthermore, the editorial board regularly invites distinguished guest editors to coordinate thematic issues.
