This paper provides an overview of some most important theories, written by the authors relevant to the topic, dealing with issues of euroscepticism and related concepts. The first part of the paper deals with the emergence of the term, euroscepticism, and defines it in relation to the opposite and complementary concepts. The second part of the paper discusses the schemes that classify types of relations with the European Union, so that is addition to theoretical models of the first part of this paper. The author concludes this paper by considering the practical and the political potential of this discourse.
