Visegrad Euroscepticism: Discursive Nodal Points in Eurosceptic Discourses Surrounding External Actions of the European Union
2018
Increasing support for Eurosceptic parties and movements can be observed in the European Union’s (EU) member states since 2009, when the economic crisis heavily affected the continent. This process has happened also within Central and Eastern European countries, especially in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary (collectively referred to as the Visegrad Group countries, or V4 for short). The goal of this paper is an analysis of far-right Eurosceptic politicians and their attitudes towards EU external actions. Using the Thomas Diez concept of discursive nodal points (DNPs) and examining European Parliament (EP) debates, literature about V4 Euroscepticism and media reports, this p…
Euroscepticism of Euroenthusiastss
2016
The author of this paper differentiates between EUROscepticism and Euroscepticism. Euroscepticism is a long - time recognized and widely researched phenomenon across Europe, most generally conceptualized as a negative attitude towards the European integration process, in particular in the form of the European Union. Whereas EUROscepticism is a much narrower category which can be defined as negative attitude towards the monetary integration on a supranational level, its deepening, participation in it, etc. As an illustrative example, here in this paper, serves Poland where we can observe an interesting paradox of an extremely pro-EU attitudes of the society combined with a strong anti-EURO s…
Krīžu ietekme uz eiroskepticisma pieaugumu periodā no 2010. līdz 2016. gadam. Grieķijas, Francijas, Ungārijas un Polijas piemēri
2018
Šī darba temats ir “Krīžu ietekme uz eiroskepticisma pieaugumu periodā no 2010. līdz 2016. gadam. Grieķijas, Francijas, Ungārijas un Polijas piemēri”. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kā ar identitāti saistīti, ekonomiskie un politiskie faktori ietekmē eiroskepticismu, kā arī noskaidrot to, kā krīzes ietekmē eiroskepticismu un Eiropas integrācijas procesu. Lai realizētu darba mērķi, tika apkopoti dati no Eiropas Komisijas Eirobarometra aptauju datiem, periodā no 2004. gada līdz 2016. gadam. Tiek secināts, ka gan ekonomiskie, gan politiskie fakotri spēcīgi ietekmē eiroskepticismu, tāpat tiek secināts, ka krīzes ietekmē eiroskepticisma pieagumu, taču tām var būt atšķirīgas ietekemes uz Eiropas int…

International audience
The symbolic representation of Europe from the Conservatives' point of view
2021
International audience; The symbolic representation of Europe from the Conservatives’ point of view“Parliament matters” Norton once wrote. It does indeed, parliamentary debates involve agenda-setting, opinion-building, decision-making affecting the political, social and cultural spheres of the country. The confrontational nature of those debates is the opportunity for parties and leaders to impose their views by persuading the public that their policy on big issues is the most efficient. Europe has been one of those significant issue ; landmark events in the construction of Europe have been passionately and lengthily discussed in Parliament : the Maastricht Treaty, the single currency, the …
Eurosceptic Attitudes Towards the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership: Who are the Trendsetters and Followers?
2020
Since the Hooghe et al.(2002) publication about party positions on European integration, a comparison of radical right and radical left Eurosceptic parties is not often conducted. In literature about Euroscepticism, the image of the horseshoe or “inverted U” illustrates the orientation of Euroscepticism among parties without any deeper analysis. This paper tries fill the research gap by investigating whether these two Eurosceptic groups are distinct from each other in the area of EU trade policy by analyzing the debate surrounding the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Using European Parliament debates about this EU-US partnership, the author tries give answers to the fo…
Reassessing British Conservative Euroscepticism as A Case of Party (Mis)Management
2015
Much has already been written about internal party divisions and European integration (Hix and Lord 1997; Conti 2007; Szczerbiak and Taggart 2008; Conti 2014), with the example of the British Conservative Party of the 1990s often used as a textbook case of a mainstream government party expressing some forms of opposition to European integration. In a wider comparative framework, the party can also be located within a Eurosceptic drift across the centre-right in the EU (Best 2012, p. 140). The case of the British Conservative Party is all the more relevant as the history of European integration shows how party families on the centre-right initially played an active part in the setting up of …

European comission's identity during brexit : a communication strategy change on twitter
2021
The European Union (EU) was founded to promote peace, prosperity and other values between an increasing number of member states (European Commission, 2001). However, Brexit has activated a reputation crisis that reinforces Euroscepticism (Borzel; Risse, 2018). The objective of the study is to identify the differences in the semantic construction and thematic framing of the European Commission during a two-year period, previous to Brexit and after Brexit, on a sample of 4827 tweets posted by the European Commission. Findings show that in the period before Brexit, the EU is presented as an abstract political body, highly informative on major crisis, and reactively framing messages with values…
