Summary:
"The United Kingdom's departure from the European Union on 31 January 2020 ran counter to recent trends of European history. Since the 1950s, European integration has included ever more countries with ever-softening borders between them. Progress was intermittent; the final destination both unclear and contested. But the direction of travel was set. In its apparent reversal of integration and its recreation of borders, Brexit is first and foremost a territorial event. The EU has lost one of its most powerful Member States. The future relationship between the UK and the EU, while still unclear at the time of writing, will be markedly different from what has pertained hereto; the movement of people, goods, services, and capital (the four freedoms of the European Single Market) across borders will be considerably more difficult"-- Provided by publisher.
