Brexit Negotiations after Article 50: Assessing Process, Progress and Impact brings together contributors from academia, politics and practice to discuss and debate the progress (or lack of) to date since the Prime Minister, Theresa May, enacted the Article 50 process to leave the EU on 29th March 2017. 

This collection is split into two key areas of inquiry. The first section explores the process of Brexit and the multifaceted aspects of the Article 50 process, examining the arguments for and against membership of the European Union. The second section develops the arguments within the first section by providing thematic chapters on the likely impact of Brexit on particular sectors of the UK economy, namely: the financial services sector; SMEs and related supply chain issues; and, the automotive sector (as an emblematic sector for UK manufacturing). 

The book will make a unique contribution to the debate on Brexit as it brings together academics and practitioners from both a 'Remain' and 'Leave' persuasion,  including Sir Bernard Jenkin, MP, economist Vicky Pryce and philosopher AC Grayling.

    This volume brings together contributors from academia, politics, and business in the UK for nine chapters that analyze the process and impact of the UK withdrawal from the European Union. They examine the dynamics of the withdrawal process and the opportunities Brexit might offer the UK, as well as the likely impact of Brexit on key sectors of the UK economy. In the first section, they address the constitutional propriety of the referendum and the issues raised by it, the economic effects, the economy and trade post-Brexit, the history of the British Labour Party's attitude towards the European Union, the motivating factors behind the vote from a socioeconomic and psychological perspective, and issues related to the operation of trading outside of a customs union and the problematic nature of border enforcement to prevent the smuggling of contraband items. The second section considers sector-specific issues, namely impacts on the financial services industry, small and medium enterprises, and the auto industry.
