| | Euroscepticism: From English Exceptionalism to Federalist Politics? - News and Agenda - Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA) |
| | Certainly, much ‘Eurosceptic’ discourse in current or future EU member states can be seen as a manifestation of a ‘populist politics’- a rejection of ‘Europe’ as part of an overly cosy, mainstream governmental consensus. | | | The term ‘Euroscepticism’ is appearing with increasing frequency in a range of media, political, and academic discourse. | | | While ‘Euroscepticism’ initially attached itself to British doubts about the country’s place in a Continental project for economic and political union, the transplantation of the term to the Continent has seen it acquire new, and occasionally contradictory, meanings. |

| | The final straw was ostensibly an internal cabinet row over Italy's lukewarm official welcome for the euro. | | | Yet coupled with all that has gone before, Mr Ruggiero's departure seems to confirm a rightwards shift toward Euroscepticism in Italy, at government if not at street level. | | | Mr Berlusconi was at pains to deny it yesterday; Italy's belief in Europe's aspirations was undiminished, he claimed. |

| | Euroscepticism and the Referendum Party |
| | Euroscepticism, therefore, was on the increase over the course of the last Parliament, and in this respect popular sentiment was moving in the direction of the Referendum Party and of the Conservative Party's right wing. | | | As we can see, even in 1992 keeping the pound on its own was the most popular of the three options, and by 1994 opinion had hardened somewhat. | | | It may be misleading to think of Euroscepticism as a right-wing issue in the same sense that we think of privatization as a right-wing issue. |

| | 'Dark Matter': Institutional Constraints and the Failure of Party-based Euroscepticism in Germany |
| | Third, the absence of a clearly stated Eurosceptical agenda is not due to the inherent ‘enlightenment’ of the German political class about the European project, but rather is the result of systemic disincentives shaping the preferences of rational acting politicians. | | | Second, at present this potential is unfulfilled and, as a result, Euroscepticism remains the ‘dark matter’ of German politics. | | | The institutional configuration of the Federal Republic provides poor returns for party-based Euroscepticism. |

| | This presentation discusses the Estonian EU referendum results as well as public debate and public opinion on pros and contras to joining to the EU. | | | It is shown that there exists a stark contrast between the dispositions of the Estonian elite and mass public opinion – the former is unambiguously pro-european while the latter includes a considerable amount of euroscepticism. | | | The paper aims to uncover the reasons behind the Estonians’ euroscepticism focusing on the issues of identity construction in the elite’s EU discourse, low trust to political institutions among people, high level of social polarization and modest knowledge of the EU related matters. |

| | But nonetheless, the uniqueness of British euroscepticism is often easily overstated. | | | In this sense, apart from protest movements on the fringes, general British euroscepticism is not so much a movement against Europe or integration itself, but rather an expression of aspiring to another kind of European Union. | | | To some extent, the depth of those arguments leads even to the conclusion that British euroscepticism is indeed over-determined. |
