Brexit and Beyond: Rethinking the Futures of Europe
Benjamin Martill
Brexit will have significant consequences for the country, for Europe, and for global order. And yet much discussion of Brexit in the UK has focused on the causes of the vote and on its consequences for the future of British politics. This volume examines the consequences of Brexit for the future of Europe and the European Union, adopting an explicitly regional and future-oriented perspective missing from many existing analyses. Drawing on the expertise of 28 leading scholars from a range of disciplines, Brexit and Beyond offers various different perspectives on the future of Europe, charting the likely effects of Brexit across a range of areas, including institutional relations, political economy, law and justice, foreign affairs, democratic governance, and the idea of Europe itself. Whilst the contributors offer divergent predictions for the future of Europe after Brexit, they share the same conviction that careful scholarly analysis is in need – now more than ever – if we are understand what lies ahead for the EU.

EU perspective. Facing challenges together

Both the EU and the UK have much to gain from a deep and comprehensive security and defence partnership after Brexit. To achieve this, both sides will need to be more flexible in the negotiations. Excessive rigidity on the EU’s part risks a boomerang effect, forcing member states who want to cooperate with the UK to do so outside the EU framework.

PROBABLE EU-UK RELATIONSHIP AFTER BREXIT
Karolina Borońska-Hryniewiecka
In light of the results of the British referendum, the European Union should be prepared for the prospect of having to build anew its relations with the UK as a non-member. The ultimate model for those relations will come from a difficult negotiation process and will reflect the economic and political interests of the UK and those of the most important EU Member States: Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Poland (together called the B5). The arrangements preferred by the B5 will define the alliances that will be built within the EU as other, smaller Member States orient themselves to the political views and coalitions of the B5. This PISM report identifies the possible preferences of the B5 states with regard to the EU’s post-Brexit relations with the UK and points to the arrangements that seem most likely.

The Brexit Scenarios: Towards a New UK-EU Relationship
Tim Oliver
This publication brings together the papers presented at the workshop " Scenarios of a new UK-EU relationship " , held at CIDOB on May 20th 2016 and co-organised with the London School of Economics' European Politics and Policy blog (LSE EUROPP). The workshop analysed the scenarios of the British referendum on European Union (EU) membership that will take place on June 23rd 2016 and discussed, among other issues, the negotiations between the British government and the EU, the referendum campaign, the internal developments in the United Kingdom (UK) and the EU and the scenarios that might prevail after the referendum. This publication presents three scenarios based on whether the UK will stay in the EU (" Bremain "), whether it will leave the EU following some form of agreement (" soft Brexit ") or whether it leaves it abruptly (" harsh Brexit "). The authors cover the economic, political, social and geopolitical effects of each scenario, attempting to devise the new UK-EU relationship in case these scenarios materialise. They pay particular attention to the political dynamics in the EU following the Brexit referendum and the effects on the European project, as well as on the future of the UK.

Post-Brexit Scenario: The European Union under Threat
shahroo malik
Around 60 years after signing of the Treaty of Rome, which led to the establishment of the European Economic Community (EEC), the European Union (EU) is struggling with the aftermath of eurozone and migration crisis and the rise of anti-EU and populist movements all across Europe. Britain’s decision to move out of the EU, further adds to the challenges faced by the EU and put its regional integration in question. This paper tries to expose the factors that led to Brexit, analyses whether the EU is headed towards disintegration and what reforms are needed to save the EU model of regional integration from disintegration. Brexit was a complex interplay of factors such as a threat to national identity and sovereignty, rising inequality and economic insecurity and Euroscepticism. The results indicate that in post-Brexit, support for the EU has increased in member states. The economic losses and political chaos that Britain had to undergo post-Brexit has united the EU members despite the ...
