European Policy Under Gordon Brown: Perspectives on a Future Prime Minister

Abstract:     
Tony Blair's decision to provide an indication of his departure date from 10 Downing Street has generated interest in the policies and style of his most likely successor, the current UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown. Brown's ambitions for European policy are considered by a number of commentators to be less clear.

However, as this article demonstrates, close examination reveals that his position on many aspects of European policy is actually already well documented.
