Summary: The British referendum on continuing membership of the European Union (EU) in June 2016 represented a turning point in the relationship between the United Kingdom (UK) and the EU. The result – a 51.9% to 48.1% victory for Leave voters on a high turnout of 72.2% – was accepted by Prime Minister David Cameron as a defeat; he resigned. In March 2017, the British government under Prime Minister Theresa May invoked Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, officially beginning the negotiations of UK withdrawal from the EU – the Brexit process. The economic and political effects of Brexit will be far-reaching for the UK and the EU and warrant scholarly examination. This collection has two main aims: to investigate the implications of Brexit for the EU and the UK, placing this assessment in the context of the long-term evolution of UK-EU relations; and to draw some lessons from it, relating these findings to debates within the literature on EU policy-making, comparative politics and political economy.
