This book provides both a comprehensive introduction and a perceptive examination of Britain’s relations with the European Community and the European Union since 1945, combining an historical account with political analysis to illustrate the changing and multifaceted nature of British and European politics.

Few issues in British politics since 1945 have generated such heated controversy as Britain’s approach to the process of European integration associated with the European Union. The long-running debate on the subject has not only played a major part in the downfall of prime ministers and other leading political figures but has also exposed major fault-lines within governments and caused deep and rancorous divisions within and between the major political parties. This highly contested issue has given rise to bitter campaigning in the press and between pressure groups, and it has bemused, confused and divided the public at large.

Key questions addressed include:

Engaging with both academic and public debates about Britain and the European Union, this volume is essential reading for all students of British history, British politics and European politics.

During the past fifty years few issues in British politics have generated such heated controversy as Britain''s approach to European integration. Why has Europe had such an explosive impact on British politics? What impelled British policymakers to embrace a European destiny and why did they take such a cautious approach? These are some of the key issues addressed inThe Reluctant Europeans. This new study draws upon recently available source material providing a clear chronological account and covering events right up to Blair''s first year in office and the launch of the Euro.

The Theory and Practice of Creative Coaching has been long in development and is not meant as an end-view of creativity in this field. It is, however, a stimulating collection of ideas (with detailed views from both practice and education) that seeks to provide stimulus to trainee coaches as well as those whose practice is well-established. With topics as wide-ranging as walking to line-drawing this book seeks to change the practice of practitioners, new and old, and helps to articulate the ways in which David Clutterbuck has called for a move from the use of models towards mastery by embracing new ways of working with the clients of coaching. With a wide-ranging scope, examples, ideas and a strong link to academic understanding, this book will provide a stimulus to the coaches, supervisors and educationalists to open their eyes to alternative ways of practicing their craft.
