The work traces the Brexit process from pre-referendum UK roles and euroscepticism through referendum design, campaign dynamics, results, and key agreements. It then evaluates post-Brexit impacts across politics, law, regulation, economy, trade, investment, sectors, labour and migration, energy and climate, foreign policy, and public administration, before outlining the future UK–EU relationship.","THE BREXIT FILES FROM REFERENDUM TO RESET  \nFOREWORD  \nFor the past decade, UK in a Changing Europe has provided impartial, researchbased analysis on a number of issues, but most particularly on UK-EU relations. Since before the 2015 General Election, we have evaluated those relations, traced and explained the tortuous Brexit process, and attempted to assess the impact that Brexit has had on the country.  \nThis report brings together some of the best scholars working on these issues to consider a number of these questions on the 5th anniversary of the UK ceasing tobe a member of the European Union. I am incredibly grateful to all those who have given their time to contribute to it, and to their patience and forbearance in coping with and responding to what must have seemed at times like an endless stream of comments and queries from the UKICE team.  \nTalking of whom, the UKICE team have pulled out all the stops to make this report as comprehensive and easily readable as possible, while not only contributing individual pieces but also collectively writing the final section. I am grateful for, and proud of, their work.  \nI hope you find what follows useful and informative. As ever, do get in touch should you have any comments, questions, or suggestions for future reports.  \n28 January 2025  \nProfessor Anand Menon Director, UK in a Changing Europe  \nCONTENTS  \nContributors 5  \nIntroduction 7  \nPart I: The Brexit process  \nBefore Brexit: the UK as a member state 11  \nEuroscepticism before the referendum 14  \nCameron’s renegotiation with the EU 17  \nDesigning the referendum 20  \nLeave and Remain: the Brexit referendum campaign 23  \nThe referendum result 26  \nThe Northern Ireland question 30  \nThe Withdrawal Agreement and the Trade and  \nCooperation Agreement 33  \nThe 2017 General Election 36  \nThe 2019 General Election 40  \nThe May Government’s Brexit policy 43  \nThe Johnson Government’s Brexit policy 46  \nThe EU’s Brexit strategy 49  \nThe role of Parliament during the Brexit process 52  \nThe role of the courts during the Brexit process 55  \nPart II: Brexit impact and aftermath  \nDealing with the EU post-Johnson: Truss and Sunak EU Policy 61  \nBrexit and the Conservative Party 64  \nBrexit and the Labour Party 67  \nThe public and Brexit 70  \nEvaluating ‘Bregret’: The views of Leave voters 73  \nBrexit and the law 77  \nTHE BREXIT FILES: FROM REFERENDUM TO RESET 3  \nRegulatory divergence 80  \nBrexit impact: the economy 83  \nBrexit impact: trade 86  \nBrexit impact: investment 90  \nBrexit impact: manufacturing and industry 94  \nBrexit impact: services 97  \nBrexit impact: agriculture 101  \nBrexit impact: environment 104  \nBrexit impact: labour market and migration 107  \nBrexit impact: energy and climate 111  \nBrexit impact: foreign policy 114  \nBrexit and the machinery of government 117  \nBrexit and the civil service 120  \nBrexit and devolution 123  \nBrexit and Northern Ireland 126  \nThe Starmer government’s EU policy 129  \nThe EU after Brexit 132  \nPart III: The future  \nThe future of the UK-EU relationship 137  \n4 THE BREXIT FILES: FROM REFERENDUM TO RESET  \nCONTRIBUTORS  \nDavid Bailey, Professor of Business Economics, University of Birmingham Tim Bale, Professor of Politics, Queen Mary University London  \nCatherine Barnard, Professor of European Union and Employment Law, University of Cambridge, and Senior Fellow, UK in a Changing Europe Matt Bevington, Practice Director, Global Counsel  \nBen Brindle, Researcher at the Migration Observatory, Oxford University Pierre Bocquillon, Associate Professor in European Politics, University of East Anglia  \nJohn Curtice, Professor of Politics Strathclyde University, and Senior Research Fellow at both the National Centre for Social Research and UK in a Changing Europe  \nCleo Davies, Assistant Professor in Politics and International Relations, Forward College  \nGeoffrey Evans, Professor of the Sociology of Politics, Oxford University  \nRobert Ford, Professor of Political Science, University of Manc","cbCaif2Osyyp9Rnt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif2Osyyp9Rnt","pdf",4571658,1,142,"English","en",105,"# Contributors\n# Introduction\n# Part I: The Brexit process\n## Before Brexit: the UK as a member state\n## Euroscepticism before the referendum\n## Cameron’s renegotiation with the EU\n## Designing the referendum\n## Leave and Remain: the Brexit referendum campaign\n## The referendum result\n## The Northern Ireland question\n## The Withdrawal Agreement and the Trade and Cooperation Agreement\n## The 2017 General Election\n## The 2019 General Election\n## The May Government’s Brexit policy\n## The Johnson Government’s Brexit policy\n## The EU’s Brexit strategy\n## The role of Parliament during the Brexit process\n## The role of the courts during the Brexit process\n# Part II: Brexit impact and aftermath\n## Dealing with the EU post-Johnson: Truss and Sunak EU Policy\n## Brexit and the Conservative Party\n## Brexit and the Labour Party\n## The public and Brexit\n## Evaluating ‘Bregret’: The views of Leave voters\n## Brexit and the law\n## Regulatory divergence\n## Brexit impact: the economy\n## Brexit impact: trade\n## Brexit impact: investment\n## Brexit impact: manufacturing and industry\n## Brexit impact: services\n## Brexit impact: agriculture\n## Brexit impact: environment\n## Brexit impact: labour market and migration\n## Brexit impact: energy and climate\n## Brexit impact: foreign policy\n## Brexit and the machinery of government\n## Brexit and the civil service\n## Brexit and devolution\n## Brexit and Northern Ireland\n## The Starmer government’s EU policy\n## The EU after Brexit\n# Part III: The future\n## The future of the UK-EU relationship","[{\"question\":\"What is the main scope of The Brexit Files -
