The implications of Brexit for Northern Ireland are profound, given
its history and geographical position as a land border with the
European Union. Four decades of sectarian violence have been
replaced by a period of sustained peace, economic growth and
development, yet the trenchant political divide remains. The
ongoing fractious relations within the Northern Irish Assembly
threaten to derail any hope the region might have on influencing
the discussion and direction of the Brexit negotiations. Mary C.
Murphy offers a detailed and in-depth analysis of Northern
Ireland's relationship with the EU, the role the EU has played in
rebuilding the region after the Troubles, and the challenges and
opportunities that Brexit might offer Northern Ireland in terms of
its fragile politics and economy. Northern Ireland has long
occupied a greater political space than might seem warranted, given
its size and relatively underdeveloped economy. This space may yet
again become the most hotly contested and divisive topic in future
Brexit negotiations, if it doesn't in fact prove to be the key to
the successful UK withdrawal and future relations with our European
neighbours.
