The outcome of the European Union membership referendum in 2016 has
presented the United Kingdom with one of its greatest challenges of
modern times. As negotiations for an exit strategy continue, this volume
looks to open up conversations on the socio-legal implications of such a
monumental transition. Aimed at addressing issues relating to Brexit
that affect every aspect of British society, this book seeks to not just
list the problems but to offer viable solutions for "the way forward".
Divided into three parts, this book presents a comprehensive yet
accessible discussion of the impact of Brexit on the United Kingdom.
Part I brings together three social studies that reveal that Brexit may
be the result of international nationalist narratives, and that the
choice to leave the EU is already affecting Brits abroad and the future
opportunities for British students. Part II turns its attention to
national legal issues that are affected such as the Irish border, waste
management, moral copyright, and the support of local enterprises.
Lastly, Part III investigates commercial law touching on important
topics such as international litigation, insolvency and tax law.
As this publication suggests eventual solutions to several issues caused
by Brexit, it may be of interest to not only other academics working in
the field, but also to policy makers and relevant stakeholders.
