The UK Conservative Party's Attitudes and Policies towards European Integration in the Past Seven Decades

Bachelor thesis | International Studies (BA)
Brexit 2016 has put the UK-EU relationship under the spotlight of global politics. In the journey of the UK and the EU, the UK Conservative Party played a significant role. Many turning points of the UK- EU relation occurred under the governance of the UK Conservative Party, from the first idea of a European family to the referendum in 2016. The UK’s attitude towards European integration has always been shifting with the Conservative Party being an influential player. This paper selects and examines several turning points in Britain's participation of European integration. The logics behind these turning points and the effects of the Conservative Party’s shifting strategies will be discussed in this thesis.
