Thoughts on Certain Aspects of the Brexit and its Management (original) (raw)

The Routledge Handbook on the International Dimension of Brexit

2020

Brexit is not only a matter involving the United Kingdom and the European Union. It also has far reaching external implications which this timely collection explores. The Handbook is a welcome contribution to the study of the multifaceted consequences of a state's withdrawal from the EU."

Brexit From Different Perspectives

2017

The subject of the research is consequences of Brexit perceived from the perspective of the European Union, the United Kingdom and Poland. The research is an interdisciplinary law and economics study. The results show that the balance for the EU is negative. Brexit changes the internal and external perception and attractiveness of integration, which will no longer be perceived as a road with no return, which may result in subsequent withdrawals. It weakens the European identity. It closes the era of bargaining and concessions to the UK. The balance for the United Kingdom will also be negative. The economic costs of leaving the EU can neither be compensated by savings on EU budget payments nor by the dubious benefits stemming from the economic relations with third countries free of the European regulatory restrictions. At the same time, Brexit ends the era of controversy around EU membership and therefore forces the formulation of internal programmes and the implementation of a polic...

Brexit Two Years On: Where are We Now? Introduction

The Political Quarterly, 2018

THIS SPECIAL SECTION originates from the need to 'take stock' of Brexit, primarily from a UK perspective, two years after the referendum on EU membership held on 23 June 2016. With this purpose in mind, the guest editors invited a group of leading experts and practitioners to present their respective analyses and reflections in a two-day workshop cosponsored by The Political Quarterly, the Department of Political and Social Sciences of the University of Bologna and the Istituto Carlo Cattaneo Research Foundation, held at the University of Bologna on 21-22 June 2018. The lively discussions that were generated at the workshop testify to the interest of moving the debate beyond simplistic and/or tautological slogans that pertain to daily political polemics (for example, 'Brexit means Brexit'), by acknowledging the complexity and multi-dimensionality of the process and by keeping a close eye on its unfolding. The special section addresses a series of crucial open questions, trying to learn lessons, to identify emerging trends and to envisage likely scenarios/outcomes both in the domestic, bilateral (EU-UK) and multilateral (for example, EU-Ireland-UK) management of Brexit. Needless to say, most of the provided answers are tentative, provisional and sometimes even inconclusive. Clearly, the limited timeframe of only two years does not allow us to clear up the uncertainty and unpredictability that a process as complex as Brexit necessarily entails. In this respect, the deadline for the negotiation of a new EU-UK deal of March 2019 might represent a watershed in our ability to identify the shape and contours of a post-Brexit UK (as well as a post-Brexit EU). And yet, waiting for March 2019 does not guarantee that all the moot points will be fully clarified (for

Brexit: a political and economic case study

Przegląd Europejski, 2021

No economic policy can be implemented without political influence, and politics is deeply affected by economic consequences. This braiding of political and economic sciences is clearly illustrated in a case study of the decision-making process by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union in 2016. This article reveals the role of political and economic factors instrumental in this decision and concludes with appeal for understanding and future built on mutual respect and trust.

Brexit: The Lull Before the Storm

The RUSI Journal, 2016

to leave the EU, the referendum result shocked many not only in the UK and its fellow EU member states but across the world. As the dust settles, the questions thrown open by this momentous decision remain. Jonathan Eyal analyses some of the most salient points that are likely to dominate the debate over the months and years ahead.

Brexit and beyond: a Pandora’s Box?

Contemporary Social Science, 2019

A fundamental challenge for addressing 'Brexit and Beyond' is its multi-faceted and multi-dimensional nature. This is also reflected in the multitude of analytical accounts of its causes and potential outcomes. These accounts, however, have tended to focus on voting behaviours and a number of economic scenarios in general. This special issue makes a different contribution in focusing on four lines of enquiry that can be generalised into a critical narrative of one of the most complex issues facing social sciences for over sixty years. These lines comprise: 'drivers of the economy-industry, trade and immigration'; 'Brexit's wider European context'; 'From politics to territorial governance'; and 'Post-Brexit rural and fisheries policy'. By setting this analysis in a brief historical reading of 'Europe versus Empire', the Introduction to this special issue provides a context for understanding Brexit's deeper and wider resonance.

BREXIT An unprecedented event raising new issues

The unprecedented and ongoing process that is Brexit raises many new issues. As the judicial process unfolds, it challenges political and constitutional institutions and the current talks need to take into account the consequences of the British withdrawal both on a national and European level. Thus, Brexit reveals a turning point both for the UK and the EU. As the outcome remain uncertain and the prospects and possibilities of the future of Brexit are yet to be determined.
