New book provides first academic analysis of EU-UK relations post-Brexit

A new book by Professor Federico Fabbrini, director of the DCU Brexit Institute and full professor of EU law at the DCU School of Law and Government, provides the first comprehensive academic analysis of the new terms of EU-UK relations post-Brexit.

Launched today, The Law & Politics of Brexit Volume 3: The Framework of New EU-UK Relations – which includes a preface by David Maria Sassoli, president of the European Parliament – contextualises the new framework of EU-UK relations, including the ongoing challenges of implementing the Withdrawal Agreement.

It sheds light on the new mechanisms for EU-UK cooperation both in the economic domain including free movement of goods, financial services, and mobility of persons, and in the security domain including law enforcement, defence, and data protection.

The book underlines the profound differences between the new status quo compared to the legal framework applicable when the UK was still an EU member state including end of free movement of persons, financial passporting, and cooperation in foreign affairs and defence, and reflects on what the latest stage in the Brexit process means for governance, sovereignty, and the future of European integration.

The book has been published by Oxford University Press and builds on prior volumes The Law & Politics of Brexit (OUP 2017) and The Law & Politics of Brexit Volume 2: The Withdrawal Agreement (OUP 2020).

It also contains the proceedings of a conference that the Brexit Institute hosted online in March 2021.
