Americanisation (the assimilation of pan-European and US culture within a population). National sovereignty relates to the belief that the ultimate power of governance in a specifically outlined geographical area (national borders), should lie with a national government and be representative of the population physically inhabiting that area (Marsonet, 2017; pp47-57).

To summarise, the growth of the EU and more generally, globalisation, has generated a large amount of political tension, within contemporary European society. This necessitates the need for a much deeper level of analysis, into the relationship existing between Anti-EU political agents and the transnational organisation itself. Research in this area will be extremely helpful towards an academic and empirical understanding of the agency/structure dialectic, which has dominated political science debates for decades (Marsh & Stocker, 2010; pp189-201).

It is particularly illuminating, for theories exploring the relationship, between group agents and an organisational structure in the international system, like the EU. This area of research is shockingly underdeveloped and will be highly important in the field of organisational studies. It will also be helpful towards evaluating the operation and public appeal of transnational, political organisations (Fairclough, 2005; pp931). This is because practical argumentation (a potent speech dialogue derived from the speech genre deliberation), is arguably the precursor to social action Therefore, it is a useful dialogue, which can be utilised by political agents in agency (Fairclough & Fairclough, 2013; pp23).

One of the most fundamental aspects of political science research is to understand the motivations behind the agency of political agents (Marsh & Stocker, 2010; pp189-201). Agency is the action of a social agent set to a specific task, objective, or claim for action (Marsh & Stocker, 2010; pp189-201). If the task is political in nature, the typology of the agency will shift and become political. The individual or group will then be recognised as a political agent. The goal of agency is to influence social practices. Theories of structuralism proposition that unobservable social and economic structures determine the action of political agents, leaving little room for examples of individual autonomy and individual strategies, to influence events and social practices. An example of a deterministic social structure is the capitalist economic structure.

The version of discourse analysis that this study will use, does not utilize structuralism. This study
