Essays on Brexit’s impact on the UK economy.

With a foreword by renowned political sociologist Katy Hayward, Brexit and the UK Constitution offers a grounded, factual, and authoritative contribution to understanding Brexit’s implications ten years on from the referendum. John Springford considers significant developments in trade, investment, the labor market and immigration, and productivity and offers a refreshing evidence-based account of how the UK economy has changed outside the EU. Catherine Barnard and Joel Reland examine the legal and regulatory landscape post-Brexit and assess what “taking back control” has meant in practice for the United Kingdom’s legal landscape. Finally, Jonathan Thomas looks at immigration since 2016, examining policy and trends since the referendum and considering the impact which Brexit has had on both immigration to, and emigration from, the United Kingdom. He focuses on what has really happened, moving beyond rhetoric and soundbites to provide an unbiased and non-partisan account.
