Burning through information: An investigation of information sources and information seeking behavior during 2020 Oregon wildfires
A series of wildfires in Oregon in 2020 resulted in severe human and property losses. Given the stressful and time-sensitive nature of such events, providing timely information to people during extreme weather events like wildfires can be challenging. Understanding individuals' most-frequently-used information sources along with their information seeking behaviors can help communicators to target audiences and effectively communicate emergency in…
Brexit and Trump: Contesting new cleavage formation
The 2016 referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU and the election of Donald Trump in the US are seen to have exposed fundamental social divisions and acute political antagonisms. While each reflected the idiosyncrasies of their domestic political scenes, these events pointed to transnational trends and developments that were shared across and beyond Anglo-America. In the Brexit and Trump votes, the anger and frustrations of being ‘left behind…
The battle of Bruges: Margaret Thatcher, the foreign office and the unravelling of British European policy
Drawing on newly released archival material, this article reassesses Margaret Thatcher’s 1988 Bruges speech, widely depicted to have instigated Britain's drift towards Brexit. It opens by giving an essential recap of the main contents of the speech. Next, the article explains why and how we use the address as a prism through which to see Thatcher's European policy-making in action. The third section tells how the speech was written to show how in…
The United Kingdom’s Eurosceptic political economy
This article explores how a political economy approach can explicate recent events in the United Kingdom’s relation to the European Union. The proposition is that neither critical nor comparative approaches do justice to the extent to which British elites have sought to differentiate the UK from the EU. The UK is here understood as a Eurosceptic political economy, constructed in opposition to European integration and, in particular, Economic and …
Reforming citizenship education for new generations
The idea of a bounded and sovereign state that is mirrored by cultural homogeneity is clearly redundant as a basis of citizenship education. Young people’s identities are less likely to be forged through war and epoch-making political struggle, and consequently national allegiance and political participation is increasingly a matter of individual choice rather than collective obligation. The relationship between national institutions and cultures…
Nationalism, populism and Anglo-British Euroscepticism
The People Against E urope: The Eurosceptic Challenge to the U nited K ingdom's Coalition Government
This article approaches E uroscepticism as central to a contemporary dynamic of government and opposition. Populist E urosceptic mobilizations exemplify opposition to depoliticized forms of political rule and demonstrate the tight political coupling of the national and the E uropean. In the case of the U nited K ingdom, a depoliticized post‐imperial governing approach to European integration has proved highly contested. From this perspective, the…
Becoming citizens in late modernity: A global-national comparison of young people in Japan and the UK
The experiences of young people in developed societies such as Japan and the UK have undergone considerable change in the last 30 or so years. Our starting point is that such developments are associated with the globalization of institutions and an individualization of experience, which destabilizes life-course transitions and cultural transmission between generations. However, we continue to assert the importance of the national framework, defin…
Synthese special issue introduction
Post-National Citizenship and Higher Education in the European Union
This paper is concerned with the role of higher education institutions (HEIs) in constituting European post-national citizenships. The central argument is that the Europeanisation of rights, and the administrative regulation of higher education that follows from this, are limited as instruments for developing post-national citizenship as they reinforce and conceal social and cultural divisions. An individualist and organisational conception of ci…
The UK and the European Union: Dimensions of Sovereignty and the Problem of Eurosceptic Britishness
Sovereignty is at the core of the UK's chronically contentious relationship with, and within, the European Union (EU). In order for EU membership to be an expression rather than an erosion of British sovereignty governments must influence the direction of European policy and the level of UK involvement. Labour has, it is argued, established an effective accommodation between continued membership of the European Union and British parliamentary sov…

Political Economy and the Study of Britain and European Integration: A Global-National Perspective
An extensive range of evidence and analysis has been employed to understand the complex relationship between Britain and the process of European integration. This article builds on a body of work within the study of European integration that examines British economic interests in European policy-making. However, I show that a comprehensive explanation of this relationship requires the application of a politico-economic analysis on national articu…
The rise of post‐imperial populism: The case of right‐wing Euroscepticism in Britain
Recent approaches to contemporary Euroscepticism have explained it in terms of the politics of opposition and peripherality characteristic of competitive party systems. Euroscepticism becomes a central strategy by which non‐mainstream parties or factions within mainstream parties attempt to gain political advantage. In the British case, there has been a focus on the influence Eurosceptic factionalism can have within a first‐past‐the‐post parliame…
National and post‐national dimensions of citizenship education in the UK
Citizenship education has been an ongoing matter of academic and political debate in the UK since the 1970s. This debate culminated in the setting up of the Advisory Group in citizenship education under the chairmanship of Bernard Crick. The publication of the Crick Report, Education for Citizenship and the Teaching of Democracy in Schools (London, QCA, 1998 Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) (1998) Education for Citizenship and the Te…
