Being a part of academic discussion for more than 10 years, Euroscepticism (especially in connection with party politics) have not been so far adequate defined. Widely accepted definition by Taggart and Szczerbiak who has divided Euroscepticism between its “hard” and “soft” version suffers from several weaknesses as the whole conceptualization lacks counterpart of Euroscepticism (pro European attitude) as well as definition of of the EU statehood (EU polity). Thus, almost every critique against current form of European integration is labelled as a Euroscepticism. This approach, widely present both in the political and scholar discourses, is built upon implicitly present conceptualization of the European Union as a static and finality reached actor. The paper challenges this conceptualization of Euroscepticism and through detailed analysis of current “state of art” offers a different perspective where conceptualization of Euroscepticism is a consequence of previously stated standards concerning pro-European stance and EU polity.

作为超过10年学术讨论的一部分，欧洲怀疑主义（尤其是与政党政治有关的）迄今还没有得到足够的定义。Taggart和Szczerbiak广泛接受的定义，他们将欧洲怀疑论分为“硬”和“软”两种版本，由于整个概念化缺乏欧洲怀疑论（亲欧洲态度）的对应物，以及欧盟国家地位（欧盟政治）的定义，因此他们存在一些弱点。因此，几乎所有对当前欧洲一体化形式的批评都被称为欧洲怀疑论。这种方法广泛地出现在政治和学者的论述中，是建立在隐含地将欧盟概念化为一个静态和最终的行动者的基础上的。本文对这种欧洲怀疑论的概念化提出了挑战，并通过对当前“最新技术”的详细分析，提出了一种不同的观点，即欧洲怀疑论的概念化是先前关于支持欧洲立场和欧盟政治的标准的结果。
