This book studies the unprecedented decision of 23 June 2016, which
saw the UK electorate vote to leave the EU, turning David Cameron's
referendum gamble into a great miscalculation. It analyzes the
renegotiation that preceded the vote, before examining the campaign
itself so as to understand why the government's strategy for
winning foundered. It then evaluates the implications that this
decision has for the country's international relations as well as
for its domestic politics. The author's final reflections are on
the political philosophy of Brexit, which is founded on a critique
of representative democracy. Yet the use of direct democracy to
trigger EU withdrawal leaves the supposedly sovereign British
people at an impasse. For it is up to the people's representatives
to negotiate the terms of Brexit. By engaging with a highly charged
political debate in an accessible and non-partisan manner this book
will appeal to a broad readership of academics, policy-makers,
journalists, and interested citizens.
