Title: Britain on the edge of Europe
First published: 1995
Description: Britain's role in Europe is a contentious and topical issue. The debate has many dimensions - political, economic and legal - and revolves around the role the country can play on the international stage. Britain on the Edge of Europe contributes to this debate. The author discusses the country's place in Europe (past, present and future) and challenges current opinion that trade and prosperity are significantly attracted by its location on the periphery of the European Union. The book explores the impact, economically and politically, of the dramatic reorientation of Britain's trade towards Europe in the post-war period and debates its importance for future trade relations. Using both original research and a fundamental re-evaluation of established opinion, Britain on the Edge of Europe provides a contemporary and challenging analysis of the country's future prosperity on the geographical periphery of the European Union.
