So, what about this ‘All UK Brexit’?

The UK in a Changing Europe promotes rigorous, high-quality and independent research into the complex and ever changing relationship between the UK and the European Union (EU).

It provides an authoritative, non-partisan and impartial reference point for those looking for information, insights and analysis about UK-EU relations that stands aside from the politics surrounding the debate.

The Initiative’s work is tailored to be easily accessible to policy makers, businesses, journalists, civil society organisations, educational institutions and the general public who are interested in the UK’s relationship with the EU.

It is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), and based at King’s College London.Following the United Kingdom Government's triggering of Article 50 on the 29 March 2017, the process for the start of the negotiations for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, the article look at the views and strategies of the governments of the devolved nations in the UK.

The authors conclude: 'As the UK negotiates its withdrawal from the EU, the cracks within its own ‘precious union’ may become difficult to hide, both at home and away'.
