Author Description
The book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the Withdrawal Agreement concluded between the United Kingdom and the European Union to create the legal framework for Brexit. The book — which builds on a prior volume The Law & Politics of Brexit (OUP 2017) - overviews the process of Brexit negotiations that took place between the UK and the EU from 2017 to 2019, and examines the key provisions of the Brexit deal. The volume assesses the Withdrawal Agreement provisions on the protection of citizens' rights, the Irish border and the financial settlement - as well as the governance provisions on transition, decision-making and adjudication, and the prospects for future EU-UK trade relations. Finally, the book reflects on the longer-term challenges that the implementation of the 2016 Brexit referendum poses for the UK territorial system, for British-Irish relations, as well as for the future of the EU beyond Brexit.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This volume investigates the legal and political architecture of the Withdrawal Agreement established between the United Kingdom and the European Union following the 2016 referendum. Federico Fabbrini, a scholar of European law, utilizes primary legal documents and diplomatic records from the 2017-2019 negotiation period to construct a framework for understanding the complexities of the Brexit process. The text argues that the agreement serves as a critical mechanism for managing the transition, while simultaneously highlighting the structural challenges posed to the British territorial system and the future of European integration.
