Description: The United Kingdom has been a member of the European Union for forty three years. Although EU membership has brought numerous indisputable benefits, anti-EU sentiment, simmering for decades, has now reached the point where a referendum led to an exit from the Union - an topical issue dubbed 'Brexit'. This book addresses the major concerns and uncertainties associated with this looming prospect. Scholars of British constitutional law and EU law discuss such factors as the impact of EU membership on the UK constitution and the perspectives of the UK's constituent regions, along with numerous practical issues of economics and administration. Specific topics covered include: the EU and the sovereignty debate; the impact of Brexit in the devolved United Kingdom; options available to the UK; residence rights post-Brexit; debates over the structure of the referendum; existing and potential role of jurisprudence (domestic and EU); environmental law; negotiating treaties; judicial protection; opt-outs; EU criminal law; labour rights; equal protection; human rights under the Charter of Fundamental Rights; and financial and economic governance.
