BREXIT: Eine Bilanz
by Rudolf G. AdamDer Brexit bildet eine historische Zäsur, dessen Wurzeln siebzig Jahre zurückreichen. Seine Folgen werden lange nachwirken. Die Entscheidung Englands für den Brexit hat die dort schwelende EU-Debatte nicht gelöscht, sondern erst richtig entfacht und das Land unversöhnlicher gespalten als je zuvor. Die angeblichen Vorteile des Brexit bleiben vage, seine ökonomischen Probleme sind hingegen konkret. Die EU ihrerseits steht vor einer existentiellen Krise.Der Mythos der Unumkehrbarkeit und der Anspruch, das manifest destiny Europas zu verkörpern, sind dahin. Die EU verliert ein wichtiges, leistungsfähiges und wirtschaftlich starkes Mitglied. Der Autor, selbst jahrelang als Diplomat an der Deutschen Botschaft in London tätig, zeigt in diesem Buch eingängig auf, wie es zum Volksentscheid für den Brexit kommen konnte und wie das Ergebnis zu bewerten ist. Welche Ansätze verfolgt Theresa May mit ihrem Kabinett, um das Votum der Wähler umzusetzen? Welche Zukunftsperspektiven ergeben sich daraus für das Vereinigte Königreich? Welche Folgen könnte dessen Ausscheiden für die EU insgesamt, insbesondere aber für Deutschland haben?Die Antworten auf diese Fragen bilden die Grundlage für die spannenden und anschaulich gestalteten Analysen und Diagnosen des Autors. Das Buch ist der erste Ansatz, den Brexit umfassend als historisches Ereignis in allen seinen unterschiedlichen Aspekten zu begreifen. Es beruht auf wissenschaftlicher Forschung sowie auf umfangreichen Recherchen, persönlichen Interviews und direkten Kontakten aus seiner Zeit als Diplomat. Niemand, der sich für den Brexit und seine Folgen interessiert, kommt an diesem Buch vorbei!
Brexit: Causes and Consequences
by Rudolf G. AdamThis book offers a comprehensive political assessment of Brexit. Based on a historical review of the role of the United Kingdom in the European Union, the author, a former diplomat at the German embassy in London, presents well-founded insights into arguments in favor and against the Brexit deal and the status quo of the Brexit negotiations. Furthermore, the book discusses the consequences of Brexit – for the UK and the rest of the EU, for security in Europe, and for the transatlantic relationship, as well as for global trade relations and the competitiveness of Europe and the UK.
Brexit: A Quick Guide to Britain's Biggest Issue
by Ian DuntBritain’s departure from the European Union is riddled with myth and misinformation — yet the risks are very real. Brexit could diminish the UK’s power, throw its legal system into turmoil, and lower the standard of living of 65m citizens. In this revised bestseller, Ian Dunt explains why leaving the world’s largest trading bloc will leave Britain poorer and key industries like finance and pharma struggling to operate. Based on extensive interviews with trade and legal experts, Brexit: What the Hell Happens Now? is a searching exploration of Brexit shorn of the wishful thinking of its supporters in the British media and Parliament. REVIEWS Admirably brief and necessarily brutal... Whatever your position during the referendum, you ought to read Dunt because he is willing to face uncomfortable facts. Highly recommended. — Nick Cohen, The Spectator Compact and easily digestible. I’d encourage anyone who is confused, fascinated or frustrated by Brexit to read this book – you’ll be far wiser by the end of it. — Caroline Lucas, Co-Leader, Green Party I would strongly recommend Ian Dunt’s excellent guide. Dunt has taken the extraordinary step of asking a set of experts what they think. I learnt a lot. — Philip Collins, Prospect Author Bio IAN DUNT is a political journalist and commentator. He is editor of Politics.co.uk, has a strong social media following, and appears on the BBC, Sky and LBC. He is a cast member of the Remainiacs podcast. He swears a lot on his Twitter feed.
Brexit: Legal and Economic Aspects of a Political Divorce
This timely book presents international and interdisciplinary perspectives on the dynamics, trajectories and consequences of Brexit. Focusing on the interaction of legal and economic issues, it evaluates the relevance of non-economic expectations and ‘red lines’ involved in the process of the UK’s exit from the EU. Contributors employ a range of methodological approaches, from game theory to the study of populism, to address the viability of WTO rules as an alternative to the EU’s internal market, future financial market regulation and commercial dispute settlement after Brexit. Chapters measure the trade-off between British autonomy and potential gains from trade, assessing how the UK may interact with the European Court of Justice and EU law. Incorporating insights from economics as well as European and international law, this thought-provoking book looks to the future of the UK and how it will contend with capital markets, adjudication of commercial law and pitfalls in the withdrawal agreement. Featuring law and economics viewpoints from renowned international scholars, this book will be indispensable reading for academic lawyers, economists and political scientists, particularly those with an interest in EU law and the implications of Brexit. It will also be useful to politicians, civil servants and legal practitioners in need of a measured response to the UK withdrawal agreement and the imminent outcomes of Brexit.
Brexit and After: Perspectives on European Crises and Reconstruction from Asia and Europe
by Martin Holland Kumiko HabaThis book makes a new departure from others on the subject. Not only does it analyze Brexit from the domestic point of view in the UK—democracy, social analysis, and construction of new institutionalization with the EU – it extends the analysis externally and reconsiders the EU and UK relationship with Asia and the implications for international relations and a new world order. From this foundation, this book presents a broad and diverse spectrum of views concerning Brexit and the EU. For these reasons, it serves as an original and excellent textbook for undergraduate and graduate students as well as for researchers of the EU and international relations. Contributions to this volume are from the European Union Studies Association (EUSA) Asia Pacific Tokyo Conference and affiliated conferences at the following universities between 2017-19: Aoyama Gakuin University (Tokyo), Taiwan National University (Taipei), and Fudan University (Shanghai). Almost all of the authors have engaged in interdisciplinary research on the EU, are members of the EUSA Asia Pacific, and have made public presentations on Brexit and how it relates to the EU, Asia, international relations, economics, and institutions. Therefore, this book presents various aspects of Brexit and its aftermath from the perspectives of the disciplines of political science, economics, and international relations in its analysis of the UK, the EU, Asia, and the future world order. The EUSA Presidents and executive committee members participated in the Asia Pacific Conference; postgraduate student workshops were organized and their presentations moderated, thereby guaranteeing both the quality of the contributions to this book as well as encouraging young talented scholars to write about Brexit and the EU. While many books on Brexit have been published, this book offers many new and perspectives that provide suggestions for possible solutions to the problems facing the UK and the EU after Brexit.
Brexit and Financial Regulation
by Jonathan Herbst, Simon LovegroveBrexit will have a significant impact on the UK financial services system. At the time of writing this book it is still unclear whether the UK will leave the EU with a deal. Given the uncertainty, this book provides high-level guidance on the complexity of Brexit as it applies to financial institutions through the eyes of leading lawyers. It considers from a financial services perspective, the draft withdrawal agreement and political declaration on the future EU / UK relationship that was approved at the negotiators level on both sides in November 2018 and further amended in October 2019. In a no deal scenario the focus of the book is on the key themes providing readers with a holistic view of the regulatory issues. In particular, the book addresses communications from the EU institutions on the approach to be taken regarding the authorisation of banks and investment firms in the EU27. Of particular importance is consideration of the opinions issued in 2017 by the European Banking Authority and the European Securities and Markets Authority. The analysis also includes a review of the approach taken by the key EU jurisdictions of Germany, France, the Netherlands and Ireland. Furthermore the book includes coverage of key pieces of EU legislation including the European Markets Infrastructure Regulation, the revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, the Capital Requirements Directive IV and the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive. The work also provides a useful outline of the UK transitional regime and onshoring of EU legislation in a no deal scenario. The overseas persons exclusion contained in the FSMA Regulated Activities Order is also discussed as is the senior managers regime. The book also considers the EU equivalence regime, the different pieces of EU legislation that contain equivalence provisions, and the process for determining equivalence. Furthermore, it examines the role of international regulatory bodies and international standards. The development of international regulation and the UKs influence on it will be important components in the post-Brexit landscape. Breaking Brexit issues into accessible, structured chapters, leading practitioners from across the City of London unpack legal complexities, sharing a wealth of experience.

Brexit and Financial Services: Law and Policy
by Kern Alexander Catherine Barnard Eilís Ferran Andrew Lang Niamh MoloneyThis timely book examines the legal and regulatory implications of Brexit for financial services. The UK's withdrawal from the EU is likely to have significant market, political, and policy consequences for the UK financial system, for the single market and the euro area, and for the international financial system. As the UK disentangles its financial system from the EU, law will matter to a profound extent. Treaties, legislation, and regulation, at UK, EU, and international levels, and the many dynamics and interests which drive them, will frame and shape the ultimate settlement between the UK and the EU. Law will also shape how the EU financial system develops post-Brexit and how the international financial system responds.Written by leading authorities in the field, this book addresses and contextualises the legal, regulatory, and policy issues across five dimensions, which correspond to the major legal spheres engaged: financial regulation implications and market access consequences for the UK financial system; labour law and free movement consequences for the UK financial system; the implications internally for EU financial governance and the euro area; the implications and relevance of the EEA/EFTA financial services market; and the trade law and World Trade Organization law implications.

Brexit and Ireland: The Dangers, the Opportunities, and the Inside Story of the Irish Response
by Tony ConnellyWhen the citizens of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, they delivered a profound shock to its nearest neighbour: Ireland. Brexit represents potentially the single greatest foreign-policy and economic challenge to the Irish state since the Second World War.More than any other journalist, RTE's long-time Brussels correspondent Tony Connelly has been helping the public make sense of the implications of Brexit for Ireland. Now, in Brexit and Ireland, he tells the inside story of the Irish response and explores the many ways in which this political and economic earthquake is likely to play out. Based on extensive interviews with insiders in Dublin, London, Belfast and Brussels, and building on Tony Connelly's unmatched feel for how the EU really works, Brexit and Ireland is a must-read for anyone who cares about Ireland's future.
Brexit and the Consequences for International Competitiveness
by Arkadiusz Michał KowalskiThis book provides a study on the impact of Brexit on international competitiveness and in doing so, presents a theoretical account of regional disintegration. In recent decades, the theory of regional economic integration has expanded following growing integration processes taking place not only in Europe, but in other continents too. The result of the EU Referendum in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2016 revealed that regional integration does not have to be a one-way process as was perceived for many years. Despite well-developed models of economic integration within economic theory, there still lacks an analytical explanation of the mechanics of disintegration. For many years, integration was commonly perceived as a beneficial process, and while disintegration is not desirable, this led to normative bias in the research on regional integration. This book, therefore, makes an important contribution to theoretical and empirical developments of regional economic disintegration.
Brexit and the European Insurance Market: An empirical Analysis of the Impact on the Structure of the European Insurance Market, Stock Market Reactions and the Solvency II Supervisory Regime (Business, Economics, and Law)
by Antonia MüllerWith the Brexit referendum more than 50% of the British population voted in favour of the UK leaving the EU. Since that event, much speculation has been about Brexit impact on the global economy, also affecting the insurance market. Existing papers and literature indicate potential significant Brexit implications on the structure of the European insurance market due to the loss of the European Passport, the European Solvency II supervisory regime, as well as on stock prices of insurance companies based in the EU and UK, but so far there is no holistic view on this topic. The dissertation aims to bring together the fragmentary information on Brexit implications for the European insurance market, develop methodological approaches further, conduct new analyses, and reflect a holistic picture of the impact of Brexit on the European insurance market, focusing on the structure of the European insurance market, stock market reactions and the Solvency II supervisory regime.
Brexit and the Future of the European Union: Firm-Level Perspectives (Routledge Studies in the European Economy)
by Marian Gorynia Barbara Jankowska Katarzyna Mroczek-Dą BrowskaFollowing the British referendum held on June 23, 2016, voters supported the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union (EU) (Brexit), a starting point for the third round of European crisis, following the eurozone debt crisis and the migration crisis. This volume provides an overview of the process and consequences of Brexit for EU member states, with an emphasis on possible future EU-UK relations, and a particular focus on countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The authors assess the extent to which firms in CEE states have already put in place strategies to counter the new economic reality post-Brexit and identify the strategies that firms are exploiting to better cope with the anticipated implications of Brexit. The book includes a ranking of countries most and least likely to be affected by Brexit; identification of the main determinants of the expansion of companies on the British market and the creation of a typology of strategies used by these companies in the face of Brexit. The book stands out as a complex and multidimensional research work that draws its roots from distinct yet simultaneously interlinked research areas. It will find a broad audience among academics and students across diverse fields of study, as well as practitioners and policy makers. It is a key reference for all those who want to better understand the complex nature of Brexit and its implications, not only for EU member states but, first and foremost, the business environment.

Brexit and the Political Economy of Ireland: Creating a New Economic Settlement (Routledge Studies in the European Economy)
by Paul TeagueThe UK’s departure from the EU has profoundly affected the politics and economics of Northern Ireland. Brexit has shattered a political accommodation that was taking shape in the region that involved nationalism and unionism reframing from aggressively pursuing their own objectives or making excessive demands on each other. Economically, it has made the task of building an innovative economy in the region immeasurably more difficult. Without radical change, Northern Ireland is destined to be an economic outhouse of an under-performing UK economy. This book represents the first systematic study of the impact of Brexit on the political and economic future of Northern Ireland and Ireland. It provides a detailed assessment of the consequences of the Belfast Agreement and highlights how Brexit imperils the advances that have been made since its signing in 1998. It makes a dispassionate assessment of the changes that may be necessary to create a stronger Northern Ireland economy. On the one hand, demands for the immediate unification of Ireland that are now being made loudly and persistently by nationalists and republicans are considered too precipitous. The two economies on the island are not yet ready for Irish unity. On the other hand, the book argues that the case for a radical reorientation of the Northern Ireland economy through the incremental creation of an all-Ireland economy. The book cuts through the rhetoric that characterizes so much discussion about the Northern Ireland economy and provides a hard-headed appraisal of not only its structure and performance, but also the economic feasibility of Irish unity.

BREXIT aus Versehen: Europäische Union zwischen Desintegration und neuer EU
by Paul J.J. WelfensDas Buch beantwortet ganz aktuell die wichtigsten Fragen zum BREXIT: Wie ist das historische BREXIT-Referendum in Großbritannien abgelaufen, welches sind die Hintergründe des anstehenden EU-Austritts und welche Folgen für Deutschland, Europa und die Weltwirtschaft sind absehbar? Die BREXIT-Entscheidung ist für Europa ein Jahrhundertereignis, das die EU schwächt und die Machtgewichte global verschiebt. Die EU hat an Anziehungskraft verloren, sie ist nicht im Einklang mit dem . Jahrhundert, das asiatisch, digital und innovationsstark ist. Es zeigt sich, dass indirekt ein Weg von der Bankenkrise zur Anti-Immigrationswelle und zum EU-Austritt führte. Zudem war das Referendumsergebnis stark verzerrt von einer grob fehlerhaften Infobroschüre der Cameron-Regierung, die zu erwartenden Einkommensverlust als Effekt eines EU-Austritts verschwieg – mit dieser Information hätte sich eine klare Pro-EU-Mehrheit ergeben. Ein zweites Referendum? EU-Reformen? Die EU-Integration kann nur fortgeführt werden von einer Neo-EU, die besser konstruiert ist.

BREXIT-Revolution: Das Vereinigte Königreich in der Verfassungskrise
by Rudolf G. Adam Gill MertensDer Brexit hat Großbritannien an den Rand einer Revolution geführt. Das Machtgefüge zwischen Krone, Regierung, Parlament und Volk ist aus dem Gleichgewicht geraten. Ein unabhängiges Schottland und ein vereinigtes Irland sind realistische Optionen. Die Gesellschaft Englands ist tief gespalten und das traditionelle Zwei-Parteien-System im Wanken. Nicht nur die äußere Abkehr des Vereinigten Königreichs von den Werten und Zielen der EU, sondern vor allem die Hinwendung nach innen, auf nationale Identität, macht den Brexit zu einem schleichenden Prozess, der noch nachwirken wird, wenn der Austritt Großbritanniens aus der EU längst vollzogen ist. Das Buch stellt den Folgeband zu „BREXIT – Eine Bilanz“ dar. Unter Berücksichtigung aktuellster Entwicklungen werden mögliche Folgen des EU-Austrittes rekapituliert und neu bewertet. Ausführliche Exkurse zu Themen wie Irland, dem Backstop, Boris Johnson oder der britischen Verfassung liefern dabei essenzielle Hintergrundinformationen aus Bereichen, die den Brexit maßgeblich mitbestimmen. Zusammen mit dem ersten Band bietet dieses Buch die gegenwärtig umfassendste Analyse des Brexit-Prozesses.
Brexit und der Finanzmarkt: Die rechtlichen Auswirkungen auf grenzüberschreitende Finanzdienstleistungen (essentials)
by Lisa Löbig Domenik H. WendtDer sog. „Brexit“ ist einer der wohl größten Einschnitte in der Geschichte der Europäischen Union.

Brexit Without The Bullshit: The Facts on Food, Jobs, Schools, and the NHS
by Gavin Esler'Punchy, pithy and short.' – POLLY TOYNBEE, GUARDIAN COLUMNIST 'In an ideal world every citizen would read this essential book, and think hard.' – PROFESSOR AC GRAYLING, ACADEMIC The broadcaster and journalist Gavin Esler reveals the long-lasting impact of the most momentous change in Britain for decades. In seven succinct chapters, he charts the profound changes brought about by leaving the European Union on key areas of life in the United Kingdom: Food and diet Health and NHS Jobs and industry Education Travel From the food markets of Kent to NHS operating theatres to the boardrooms of big employers, Brexit is packed with surprises. And Brexit Without the Bullshit is not about the Brexit you were told you were getting: it's about the one we're actually getting. From the author of How Britain Ends and Britain is Better Than This, this is the ideal accompaniment to books on Brexit such as the Fintan O'Toole's Brexit Chronicles and Michel Barner's Secret Brexit Diaries. Instead of concentrating on the Brexit referendum campaign, it uncovers the fundamental changes caused by Brexit - and what they mean for ordinary life. REVIEWS 'If you want a pithy, sober, clear-headed summary of what Brexit is actually likely to look like, @gavinesler’s new book is spot on. Such a welcome antidote to all the whipped up sentiment - calm, factual, rigorous.' – DR RACHEL CLARKE, NHS DOCTOR AND CAMPAIGNER 'Esler provides the evidence of what Brexit has already done to Britain and the harm that it s causing and will cause, in particular to the poorest in our society. A guide for all who want to understand what Brexit really means.' – JESSICA SIMOR QC 'A brilliant demolition of the lies and liars that created the Brexit mess. Should be required reading at his old stamping ground, the BBC.' – ALASTAIR CAMPBELL, WRITER AND BROADCASTER WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK - BY GAVIN ESLER In 2016 I did something I had never done before. I voted in the Brexit referendum without knowing what I was voting for or against. No one explained to me - or you - what Brexit would mean for our lives. Whether you voted Leave or Remain, we did not know the facts about Brexit, how it would affect our jobs, food, schools, universities, the NHS, our families, pets, travel arrangements, and even the supposed unity of the United Kingdom. In the years since the Brexit vote, the British government has continued to fail to explain the facts about Brexit, and so I decided to find out for myself. The result is my latest book, “Brexit Without The Bullshit.” At first I thought that if Brexit were stripped of the bullshit — lies and deceit, scare stories and fantasies — there would be nothing left. But the facts about Brexit are so stark, there’s plenty to discuss and think about. The key fact is this: Brexit is not an event. It is a process. Whether it happens or not, whatever version of leaving the EU we end up with, we will be forced to discuss Brexit for years to come. If we are to survive and perhaps thrive, we need to start with the facts. Gavin Esler CONTENTS Introduction Chapter 1. Brexit & Our Food Chapter 2. Brexit, Our Health & the NHS Chapter 3.

Brian Eno: Oblique Music (PDF)
by Sean Albiez David PattieOn the back of his published diary Brian Eno describes himself variously as: a mammal, a father, an artist, a celebrity, a pragmatist, a computer-user, an interviewee, and a 'drifting clarifier'. To this list we might add rock star (on the first two Roxy Music albums); the creator of lastingly influential music (Another Green World; Music for Airports); a trusted producer (for Talking Heads, U2, Coldplay and a host of other artists); the maker of large-scale video and installation artworks; a maker of apps and interactive software; and so on. He is one of the most feted and influential musical figures of the past forty years, even though he has described himself on more than one occasion as a non-musician. This volume examines Eno's work as a musician, as a theoretician, as a collaborator, and as a producer. Brian Eno is one of the most influential figures in popular music; an updated examination of his work on this scale is long overdue. 9781441117458 9781441155344 9781441148063
