Understanding Brexit by Graham Taylor
On 23rd June 2016, the United Kingdom shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union. This short book examines why this happened, examining the historical, economic, political, social and cultural reasons that led to the Brexit vote.
Taylor questions the common-sense view that the meaning of the British vote to leave the European Union does not extend beyond the political and legal relationship between the United Kingdom and the European UnionThis narrow definition, he argues, does not exhaust the possible meanings and significance of Brexit. He discusses whether "Brexit means Brexit" is true, reluctant Europeans: an economic history of European integration in the United Kingdom, two tribes: the winners and losers of European integration, new political alignments: the making of a pro-Brexit electoral coalition, and post-Brexit trajectories. -- Annotation ©2018 * (protoview.com) *
