Britain has had particular problems reconciling itself to the idea of being a ‘European’ actor and a wholehearted member of theEEC/EUsince 1973. Now, potentially, the ‘awkward partner’ is edging towards the exit door of theEUbecause a membership a referendum gauging the opinion of a sullenly Eurosceptical UK public is a likely prospect in the coming years. The aim of this special issue ofJCMSis to consider how one can account for the present state of affairs by adopting an interpretivist perspective onBritishEuropean policy over the past four decades. The article begins with a comprehensive review of the extant literature onBritain andEurope and an elaboration of the ‘traditions and dilemmas’ framework within which the contributors have studied the empirical material in their articles. It then explains the major themes that connect the articles and suggests how future research might build on the agenda proposed in this special issue
