Online book launch of the Routledge Handbook on the International Dimension of Brexit, organised by Juan Santos Vara, Ramses A. Wessel & Polly R. Polak.

During this workshop, the authors will discuss the relevance of their contribution for the current post-Brexit situation. The workshop takes place in the framework of the European Papers Jean Monnet Network.

On the book: this timely handbook provides comprehensive expert analysis of the impact of the Brexit process and the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on existing and future EU–UK relations within the context of both EU and international law.

It is divided into six parts: The framework for the future relationship between the EU and the UK / Brexit and existing EU international agreements / International organizations and EU diplomacy after Brexit / Common foreign, security and defence policy after Brexit / Brexit and specific international arrangements / Brexit and specific international arrangements

Examining the wider international law implications, it additionally assesses the complex legal consequences of Brexit for both the EU and the UK in their dealings with third states and other international organizations. With contributions from renowned specialists in the field of EU external action, each chapter analyses specific policy areas to address key challenges arising from the Brexit process for the EU and the UK and propose solutions to overcome these problems. The handbook aims to fill a gap in research by assessing the consequences of Brexit under EU external relations law and international law. As such, it is hoped it will set the research agenda for coming years on the international dimension of Brexit.

The Routledge Handbook on the International Dimension of Brexit is an authoritative and essential reference text for scholars and students of international and European/EU law and policy, EU politics, and British Politics and Brexit, as well as of key relevance to legal practitioners involved in Brexit, governments, policy-makers, civil society organizations, think tanks, practitioners, national parliaments and the Court of Justice.
