Brexit – Past, Present and Future: new special issue of Global Policy published | UCL European Institute - UCL

Robert Schütze of the Global Policy Institute (Durham) and Uta Staiger of the UCL European Institute have published a special issue of Global Policy on "Brexit – Past, Present and Future."

Half a decade after the referendum, the authors in this special issue of Global Policy set out to consider Brexit from a wide diachronic perspective to examine not only its complicated present, but also its past and possible future(s). The special issue's three sections contain four articles each, plus a special spotlight on the Irish border and the Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol. Experts in history, law, political and social science gauge the ideational factors and historical pathways that prepared the way for Brexit; discuss the significance of some of the legal, formal and constitutional features of the process; and indicate probable consequences going forward. They aim to do justice to the idiosyncrasies of the UK’s exit from the EU and to draw out its wider repercussions and significance.
