本文将欧洲怀疑论视为当代政府和反对派动态的核心。民粹主义欧洲怀疑论的动员体现了反对政治统治形式的反对,并证明了民族和欧洲的紧密政治耦合。就英国而言,事实证明,欧洲一体化的帝国统治后的帝国统治方法受到了极大的争议。从这个角度来看,本文将联盟政府下的欧洲最近政治(从2010年到2013年)视为欧洲怀疑论的一个时期,成功地挑战了欧洲政策。表面上似乎是保守派领导人的政党管理问题,被更准确地理解为政府与民粹主义欧洲怀疑论者之间的更广泛的冲突。这场冲突的结果是将巨大的欧洲怀疑主义进一步嵌入英国政治中,以至于维持欧洲的自治受到严格限制,即使不是不可行。
This article approaches Euroscepticism as central to a contemporary dynamic of government and opposition. Populist Eurosceptic mobilizations exemplify opposition to depoliticized forms of political rule and demonstrate the tight political coupling of the national and the European. In the case of the United Kingdom, a depoliticized post-imperial governing approach to European integration has proved highly contested. From this perspective, the article examines the recent politics of Europe under the coalition government (from 2010 to 2013) as a period of Eurosceptic mobilization that successfully challenges European policy. What on the surface appears to be a problem of party management for the Conservative leadership is more accurately understood as a broader conflict between government and a populist Eurosceptic opposition. The outcome of this conflict is to further embed hard Euroscepticism within British politics to the point where maintaining governing autonomy on Europe is severely constrained, if not unfeasible.
