The Routledge Handbook of the Politics of BrexitAuthor(s): Patrick Diamond, Peter Nedergaard, Ben Rosamond\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138049369, 978-1138049369\nSynopsis\nThe surprise decision expressed by the British people in the referendum held in June 2016 to leave the European Union was remarkable. It also presents a \""natural experiment\"" where the exposure of a society to an extraordinary event allows scholars to observe, in real time in the real world, the interaction of variables. \n\nThe Routledge Handbook of the Politics of Brexit takes stock of what we know in the social science community about the Brexit phenomenon so far and looks to make sense of this remarkable process as it unfolds. The book asks simple questions across a range of areas and topics so as to frame the debate into a number of navigable \""subdiscussions\"", providing structure and form to what is an evolving and potentially inch.
