New IIEA Report: Coalition in Britain – Coalitions in Europe?
15 Jul 2010
The IIEA has launched a new report by policy analyst Shane Fitzgerald. Coalition in Britain – Coalitions in Europe? An Analysis of the UK’s European Policy builds on the ongoing research of the IIEA’s UK Group, which is chaired by Dr. Garret FitzGerald and led by Dr. Paul Gillespie.
The formation of a coalition government by the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats coincides with a moment of deep crisis for the European Union. This report investigates the extent to which this confluence of events could facilitate a new British policy on Europe and contribute to a reconfiguration of European politics. It does so by first analysing the compromises of the coalition deal and then placing these in the context of tensions that are likely to emerge in the UK-EU relationship over the next five years.
Key topics addressed include:
· The Coalition Deal on Europe
· Economic Governance and Banking Supervision
· CAP Reform and the Budget Rebate
· Britain and the Euro
· A Distinctive British Foreign Policy?
· The European External Action Service
· The UK in the European Parliament
· Differentiated Integration – Coalition Europe?
