Analysis 1 of the Revised Brexit Withdrawal Agreement: Overview
Professor Steve Peers, University of Essex
Brexit and the Future of the European Union: The Case for Constitutional Reforms Remote access requires Oxford SSO. 2020 OUP title by Federico Fabbrini ABSTRACT This book examines how the European Union has changed during Brexit and because of Brexit, while also reflecting on the developments of the EU besides Brexit and beyond Brexit. It argues that the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU—the first ever case of disintegration since the start of the European integration process—creates an urgent need to reform the EU. In fact, while the EU institutions and its Member States have remained united in their negotiations vis-à-vis the UK, Brexit has created transitional problems for the EU, and exposed other serious fissures in its system of government
