Review :
“The book titled ‘The UK Challenge to Europeanization: The Persistence of British Euroscepticism’ deals with the unrest of the UK about her EU membership. … It is a very valuable source of information especially for those who want to have a detailed knowledge about the Euroscepticism in the UK.” (Seven Erdogan, Journal of Global Analysis, Vol. 6 (2), 2016)
