The book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the withdrawal agreement concluded between the United Kingdom and the European Union to 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.
This book is a fascinating and erudite canter through a complex episode in European history [... T]his latest volume brings together a host of academic, legal and political science luminaries from the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe. They contribute different chapters to what is a detailed commentary on the Withdrawal Agreement, the history behind it and what the future might look like. The book contains an eye-catching foreword from Michel Barnier, the chief EU Brexit negotiator [...] The editing of the book is superb (including footnotes and index) and each chapter helpfully sets out what it is going to cover [...] Over 300 pages, the writers' contributions are blended together logically and seamlessly [...] This reviewer would give it top marks for putting together a scalable yet in-depth study of a document which has profound constitutional implications both for the UK and the EU. * David Glass, Excello Law Limited , The Law Gazette *
