To be, or not to be in the EU, that is the question : The cultural case of United Kingdom´s possible withdrawal from EU
While culture “stresses social life as such: individuals in their relations to others” , this thesis paper deals with culture alongside notions of values, beliefs and national preference/interest. The cultural aspect will shed into light by a wider perspective – the influence it has among European Union´s social and political life. Within EU, the United Kingdom holds high gains and strong financial power as one European member; yet, for the first time in the last decades, the British government decided that – one renegotiation is needed between the UK-EU relation. 
 
This master thesis, first and foremost, will elucidate the complex notion of ´culture´ with a particular concern over the idea that “culture is tied to both economics and politics” 
 
The aim of this research paper is to investigate whether there is a linkage between culture and governmental decisions/EU politics. Thus, United Kingdom is chosen as a particular study case determining to what extend the British values and beliefs have an impact over UK´s possible withdrawal from EU.

The Future of the Euro – What Happens if a Member State Leaves?
The continued viability of the Eurozone as a single currency area is challenged from time to time. Some doubt the ability of Italy and other Member States to remain in the zone, given their difficulties in complying with the applicable budgetary rules. Even the French Prime Minister has commented that life was sometimes easier with the franc. This article considers some of the consequences which may ensue in the event that a Member State felt compelled to seek an exit from the Eurozone, and to reintroduce its own national currency. The Treaty does not legislate for this type of situation and any such attempt would clearly cause severe strains at a political level. But it would also have a major impact on the financial markets. In particular, there may be doubts about the currency in which continuing monetary obligations should be settled. This article seeks to analyze the legal issues which would arise in this context.
