I submitted the abstract for the paper I wrote last semester for my political science class on the European Union with Professor Ringe. It was such a fun class!
The paper I wrote was called: "Euro-Skepticism in the United Kingdom: The European Union's Attack on National Sovereignty."
As you may be able to tell, it was about Euro-skeptic attitudes in the UK and how they effected European politics, especially since Britons feel like the EU threatens their own sense of national sovereignty.
Here's the abstract, if you're interested:
The question this paper attempts to answer is what types of
Euro-skepticism show up in the United Kingdom, where they each show up, and how
these varying Euro-skeptic attitudes affect political decision-making both at
the domestic and international level. By delving into the European policies of
national governments and the parties in power, by contrasting these views to
those of parties in opposition, by looking at how these governments came into
power, were elected, and even reelected, as well as by investigating the case
of the Conservative delegation to the European Parliament, this paper will show
that Euro-skeptic attitudes prevail all throughout national and international
government and politics, and that Euro-skepticism plays a key role in multiple
levels of political decision-making in the United Kingdom.
And here's the link to the website for the European Union Center of California, who will be hosting the conference. AWESOME!!!
