Even though Euroscepticism has been an existed concept since the establishment of the EU, in recent years its visibility increased both in member and candidate states. The thesis examines the think tanks, which are actors that usually are not involved in the literature, by looking from the perception of Euroscepticism. In this thesis, 160 publications of the selected think tanks and 6 face-to-face interviews that are conducted with those think tanks are used. In line with the typology of Taggart and Szczerbiak, these discourses are surveyed and classified as hard Eurosceptic, soft Eurosceptic and supportive discourses depending on their features.
