ABSTRACT
In the wake of the Eurozone and migration crises, Euroscepticism has become a buzzword in both media outlets and policy circles. The phenomenon, however, has had a long-standing history. Being first traced in British journalistic articles during the 1980s, its use became widespread in the post-Maastricht era, which marked the beginning of the politicisation of European integration with both European publics and parties expressing their opposition to increased political and economic integration. Since then, scholarly literature on the topic flourished and is now abundant, with hundreds of publications in prominent journals and academic presses.
