This book offers a novel perspective on the UK's withdrawal from
the European Union, providing insights to the ways in that domestic
concerns interact with European policy to produce sometimes
counter-intuitive outcomes. The 2016 decision by the United Kingdom
to withdraw from the European Union was a seminal one for both
political parties in the UK. This innovative volume considers the
extent to which the interrelation between the national and the
European arenas produced significant opportunities for reshaping
political action. The nesting of these two levels matters, firstly
in allowing for the mobilisation of domestic actors around European
issues and secondly, in explaining why seemingly unimportant or
counter-productive actions are taken. The tensions this generated
reached a critical juncture with the referendum, a rupture that
highlights the extent to which a nominally second-order vote can
have fundamental impacts on the first order's preferences. Bringing
together scholars from a wide range of approaches and covering
various aspects of the Brexit process, this book offers a
significant contribution to improving our understanding of an event
that will shape British and European politics for a generation. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of the Journal of Contemporary European Studies.
This volume focuses on the issue of change in democratic politics
in terms of experimental or actual innovations introduced either
within political parties or outside the party system, involving
citizen participation and mobilization. Including a wide and
diverse range of alternatives in the organization of groups,
campaigning, conducting initiatives and enhancing practices, they
not only question the relevance of traditional institutions in
representing citizens' values and interests, but also share a
common goal which is precisely - and perhaps paradoxically - to
reshape and invigorate representative democracy This book is of key
interest to scholars and students of party politics,
elections/electoral studies, social movement and democratic
innovations and more broadly to comparative politics, political
theory and political sociology.
