This research paper assesses the likely impact and consequences of Brexit on the European Union, together with some scenarios for the terms of the UK’s future secession. For the EU, the ongoing process is considering that the losses are found to be highly significant. The key research targets of this paper are the following; Britain is deeply divided over its membership of the EU. There is a risk of ‘political contagion’ from Brexit as it could fuel Euro skepticism elsewhere, particularly if the UK is seen to benefit in politically sensitive areas like migration. Brexit would mean years of uncertainty and wrangling to establish a new relationship between Britain and the EU, which would be damaging for businesses trading with and partners invested in the UK.

Brexit is a way for the UK to marginalize itself. It is an act to take a back seat instead of a front seat, let alone the driving seat. No doubt, it is the right of the British people to have a referendum about EU membership. At the same time, it is for British politicians to explain what the real balance of costs and benefits of the EU is for the UK. On the other hand, it is for the EU as a whole to ensure that the British, to- gether with all other member states, continue to see membership as a win-win game. People on the continent cherish your history and culture. But nobody believes that Britain should take inspiration from Henry VIII or Robinson Crusoe, when the question is about your relation s with the continent in the 21st century. It is not separation or isolation, but close cooperation with your neighbours that makes you richer, safer and freer. Co-operation often requires compromise with other countries, but it is the only way to move forward.

Eight months on from the EU referendum in the UK, it is still not clear what shape the new relationship between the country and its EU partners will take. These will be the subject of negotiations that are expected to start following the triggering of Article 50 of the Treaty of the European Union (TEU), which is anticipated to occur in March 2017. Several studies have looked into the potential economic and financial impact of Brexit considering different scenarios, as well as into the consequences of the UK withdrawing from the Single Market under potential new arrangements with the EU. None of them has, however, thoroughly analysed the impact of the UK’s withdrawal on the rights of the estimated 4 million citizens who are likely to be directly affected by the outcome of the negotiations on the new UK-EU relationship, including the 3 million EU citizens residing in the UK and the 1.2m British citizens living across the EU.

AARMS, 2019

This article examines certain aspects related to Brexit and its management -both from the side of the UK and the EU. We search for the answer to such questions, whether the Brexit is a crisis, and if so, then what certain effects can it have on the economy, society, everyday life, etc. of those involved, and if these effects were and are handled properly by those in charge. In addition, we review the timeline of Brexit, including the planned dates and events. The institutional background of the crisis management will also be examined in case of both parties. Please note that the article was written in the summer of 2018, consequently it does not reflect the later events and deadline extensions!
