Routledge Handbook of the Politics of Brexit by Patrick Diamond (Editor); Peter Nedergaard (Editor); Ben Rosamond (Editor)ISBN: 9781138049369
Publication Date: 2018-05-08
This chapter examines the history of the British–Irish relationship against the backdrop of shared European Union (EU) membership. It notes the anticipated impact of Brexit on the Irish economy and on the politics and broader constitutional arrangements on the island of Ireland. The chapter details the Irish Government's approach to the Brexit challenge and notes how Brexit has impacted the tone and tenor of the British–Irish relationship. The Irish Government's primary concern is about what form a hard or soft border between the UK and Ireland will take, how it will be managed and policed and where that border might be. The Government's opposition to the reimposition of any sort of border between north and south is motivated by both political and economic factors. In short, the Irish Government expressly supports the UK remaining in the Customs Union and Single Market.

On Brexit by Elaine Fahey (Editor); Tawhida Ahmed (Editor)ISBN: 9781789903003
Publication Date: 2019-12-02
Timely and engaging, this topical book examines how Brexit is intertwined with the concepts of justice and injustice. Legal scholars across a range of subjects and disciplines utilise a multitude of case studies from consumer law, asylum law, legal theory, public law and private law, in order to explore the impact of Brexit on our ideas of justice. The book as a whole aims to engage with the methodology, lexicon and explicitness of analytical perspectives in relation to Brexit.The EU is the epitome of a globalised world: an organisation with a huge number of members, partners and collaborators, seeking to further common goals, with pooling of resources to address shared concerns. Much attention has been paid to justices or injustices in relation to the impact that they have on beginning or increasing global relations, and in turn on individuals or groups. This thought-provoking book analyses the reverse: what justice is brought about by withdrawal therefrom?On Brexit will be of great interest to students and academics working on EU law and politics and global relations due to its interdisciplinary nature. It will also be a key resource for both UK and EU governments and policy actors seeking to broaden their perspective on Brexit.
The Proliferation of Privileged Partnerships between the European Union and its Neighbours by Sieglinde Gstöhl, David Phinnemore (Editors)ISBN: 9781138350700
Publication Date: 2019-07-12
The UK decision to leave the European Union (EU) has raised the question of what form the post-Brexit UK-EU relationship will take. This chapter explores the development of the UK government’s position since the June 2016 referendum through to the end of 2018 and the conclusion of a Withdrawal Agreement and the adoption of a Political Declaration on the framework for future UK-EU relations. In doing so, it highlights the persistent lack of domestic UK consensus on post-Brexit relations with the EU and the significant challenges the UK government has faced in reconciling the ambition of securing a new strategic partnership and a wide-reaching, bold and ambitious free trade agreement with its own red lines on leaving the customs union, the single market and the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the EU. The chapter explores, too, the EU’s response. A central concern is the extent to which that response is being shaped or determined by established principles underpinning the EU’s external relations. Regular references to the EU not being open to UK ‘cherry-picking’ and accusations more generally that the UK is seeking to ‘have its cake and eating it’ suggest those principles and the precedents set by the EU’s existing privileged partnerships are having a demonstrable impact on the EU’s position.
Der Brexit und seine Folgen by Rudolf G. Adam and Gill Mertens in:
Die BREXIT-Revolution by Rudolf G. AdamISBN: 9783658283650
Publication Date: 2020-05-30
Der Brexit hat Großbritannien an den Rand einer Revolution geführt. Das Machtgefüge zwischen Krone, Regierung, Parlament und Volk ist aus dem Gleichgewicht geraten. Ein unabhängiges Schottland und ein vereinigtes Irland sind realistische Optionen. Die Gesellschaft Englands ist tief gespalten und das traditionelle Zwei-Parteien-System im Wanken. Nicht nur die äußere Abkehr des Vereinigten Königreichs von den Werten und Zielen der EU, sondern vor allem die Hinwendung nach innen, auf nationale Identität, macht den Brexit zu einem schleichenden Prozess, der noch nachwirken wird, wenn der Austritt Großbritanniens aus der EU längst vollzogen ist. Das Buch stellt den Folgeband zu ,,BREXIT - Eine Bilanz" dar. Unter Berücksichtigung aktuellster Entwicklungen werden mögliche Folgen des EU-Austrittes rekapituliert und neu bewertet. Ausführliche Exkurse zu Themen wie Irland, dem Backstop, Boris Johnson oder der britischen Verfassung liefern dabei essenzielle Hintergrundinformationen aus Bereichen, die den Brexit maßgeblich mitbestimmen. Zusammen mit dem ersten Band bietet dieses Buch die gegenwärtig umfassendste Analyse des Brexit-Prozesses.

Publication Date: 2018-08-11
This Palgrave Policy Essential considers the security and defence consequences of Brexit for the UK and the European Union.

The book includes a critical analysis of the consequences of Brexit for crisis management, internal security and defence industries in the UK and EU. It concludes with an examination of the options and legal tools available to both parties as they frame their post-Brexit security and defence relations.

This interdisciplinary book examines Brexit from a political economy perspective, enriched by insights from scholars of political science, history and law.

Research Handbook on Art and Law by Jani McCutcheon (Editor); Fiona McGaughey (Editor)ISBN: 9781788971461
Publication Date: 2020-01-10
Featuring international contributions from leading and emerging scholars, this innovative Research Handbook presents a panoramic view of how law sees visual art, and how visual art sees law. It resists the conventional approach to art and law as inherently dissonant - one a discipline preoccupied with rationality, certainty and objectivity; the other a creative enterprise ensconced in the imaginary and inviting multiple, unique and subjective interpretations. Blending these two distinct disciplines, this unique Research Handbook bridges the gap between art and law.This highly original Research Handbook provides stimulating and provocative discussions that bring together multiple perspectives on how art and law relate to each other in all of their various manifestations, across diverse legal regimes, fields, contexts, and times. With the objective of starting an interdisciplinary dialogue on visual art and the law, this Research Handbook reflects the varied voices of lawyers, artists, criminologists and curators, and engages with broad notions of the two fields, exploring established themes alongside new areas and unfamiliar questions. Wide-ranging and accessible, the Research Handbook on Art and Law will be of interest to law students and scholars engaged with the fields of law and the visual arts, as well as copyright lawyers, art historians and socio-legal scholars.

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel.

After an introduction to shifting ideas of territory, territoriality and sovereignty, the book deals with territory in its more traditional macro-scale sense at the level of the nation-state before going on to explore questions of territory, identity and belonging at a more micro-scale focusing on issues of citizenship, inclusion and exclusion.A Research Agenda for Territory and Territoriality will be a key resource for scholars and students in geopolitics and social and cultural geography, whilst also being a thought-provoking read for those interested in nations and nationalism, sovereignty, conflict, citizenship, and territory, place and locality.
Preparing for Brexit by Lee McGowanISBN: 9783319877587
Publication Date: 2018-08-15
The debate on the United Kingdom’s plans for exiting the European Union is all too often considered from an Anglo (even London) centric perspective. Such assessments tend to overlook the regional dimension and the devolution of powers to Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales in the late 1990s. Each nation has their own perspective on the implications of Brexit. The challenge for the three devolved administrations is to influence the formation of the British negotiating position. No other part of the UK will be affected as much by Brexit than Northern Ireland. It is a unique case given the border with the Irish Republic. This chapter presents the Northern Irish dimension to Brexit and stresses that some form of special consideration to Northern Ireland may either be wanted or pursued by London. McGowan argues that a failure to recognise political realities and regional sensitivities that Brexit has aroused within the two main communities in Northern Ireland could unsettle the foundations of the peace process and raises questions about the constitutional status of this part of the UK.
