The Routledge Handbook of the Politics of Brexit

Diamond, et al. 2018 constitutes the most important reference work that deals with both the sources and implications of Brexit published to date. - Matthias Matthijs and Christina Toenshoff, Oxford Bibliographies Wow! Almost nothing about Brexit is clear - and that makes this an extraordinary and extraordinarily useful collection. For it contains both all that there is to know about Brexit and all that we need to make sense of it - insofar, that is, as there is sense to be made of it. A wonderful achievement and very highly recommended. - Colin Hay, Professor of Political Science, Sciences Po, Paris. This is a wide ranging, informative, and up-to-date survey of Brexit and its implications for the United Kingdom, for the European Union, and for countries beyond. Each of the twenty-four chapters provides a state-of-the-art contribution that summarizes the current state of knowledge for students and experts alike. - Gary Marks, Burton Craige Distinguished Professor, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Robert Schuman Fellow, EUI, Florence. British exit from the European Union has become the defining issue for the UK today. This insightful text tells you everything you need to know, and might not even have known to ask, from the inside and the outside. Remarkable not only for the range of topics considered but also for the depth of analysis of its stellar list of contributors, this book is the indispensable guide to Brexit. - Vivien A. Schmidt, Jean Monnet Professor of European Integration, Boston University, USA. Brexit is a process rather than an event, which has implications which go far beyond the UK itself. With its excellent team of authors this book provides a broad, comprehensive and insightful account of the many different contexts, issues and dilemmas associated with the decision and its consequences. It will be an indispensable source for all students of Brexit. - Andrew Gamble, Emeritus Professor of Politics, University of Cambridge and Professorial Fellow, University of Sheffield, UK.
