Public discussion regularly addresses the advantages and disadvantages
of membership in the European Union. Using Iceland as an example, this
work analyses various forms of cooperation with the European Union,
taking into account forms beyond membership in the EU, such as
membership in the EEA, a customs union, a common free trade area,
cooperation under WTO rules and other forms. The study is conducted in
the form of a legal comparison. The academic results will be contrasted
with the perceptions of the population, which are based on interviews
with different social groups in Iceland.
