This comprehensive volume explores the political, social, economic
and geographical implications of Brexit within the context of an
already divided UK state. It demonstrates how support for Brexit
not only sharpened differences within England and between the
separate nations comprising the UK state, but also reflected how
austerity politics, against which the referendum was conducted,
impacted differently, with north and south, urban and rural
becoming embroiled in the Leave vote. This book explores how, as
the process of negotiating the secession of the UK from the EU was
to demonstrate, the seemingly intractable problem of the Irish
border and the need to maintain a 'soft border' provided a
continuing obstacle to a smooth transition. The authors in this
book also explore various other profound questions that have been
raised by Brexit; questions of citizenship, of belonging, of the
probable impacts of Brexit for key economic sectors, including
agriculture, and its meaning for gender politics. The book also
brings to the forefront how the UK was geographically imagined - a
new lexicon of 'left behind places', 'citizens of somewhere' and
'citizens of nowhere' conjuring up new imaginations of the spaces
and places making up the UK. This book draws out the wider
implications of Brexit for a refashioned geography. It was
originally published as a special issue of the journal Space and
Polity.
