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.
EU Federalism and Constitutionalism: The Legacy of Altiero
Spinelli, edited by Andrew Glencross and Alexander H. Trechsel,
represents the first book-length study of the travails of the
implementation of federalism at the European level from the
perspective of Altiero Spinelli's ideas and his political life,
which were both devoted to a federally united Europe. It is also a
timely publication given the protracted struggle to implement a new
EU institutional architecture the 2009 Lisbon Treaty that is
already being tested by the fallout from the global financial
crisis. This fallout has brought into stark relief the tensions
within the EU over the question of enhancing solidarity and federal
unity or remaining a looser association of sovereign states. Hence
by examining the successes and failures of federalism within the EU
system, the book seeks to explain not only how the EU has reached
its current impasse but also how it may fare in the future. To
achieve this objective, the book takes an interdisciplinary
approach that covers all three dimensions of the European project:
historical, legal, and political. In this fashion, Andrew Glencross
and Alexander H. Trechsel's EU Federalism and Constitutionalism:
The Legacy of Altiero Spinelli offers a comprehensive and
up-to-date analysis of the history, evolution, and future of
federal principles and institutions in the European integration
process."
