Brexit negotiations and its impact on UK-EU relations

Abstract EN

The United Kingdom, in 2016, conducted a referendum on Britain’s membership with the European Union.

The ‘Leavers’ front triumphed marginally over the ‘Remainers’ side.

The departure procedure was dubbed ‘Brexit’.

By 2017, The British Premier, Theresa May, provoked Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty, which means activating Brexit's negotiation rounds, a political act described as unprecedented because the UK is the first-ever country to appeal a divorce from the EU.

Brexit is arguably a complicated phenomenon; thus, this research paper identified the historic milestones leading to the 2016 Brexit referendum by shedding light on the negotiations space and anticipating a set of agreement zones and examining their consequences.

Inclusive of the political, economic, and socio-cultural future scenarios that could happen from the 2016 Brexit referendum's aftermath.

The research paper collected a comprehensive set of resources from books, journals, articles, and periodicals, along with using official UK’s sources.

The research methodology approach followed a qualitative method.

The final conculusion of the research paper stated that, the uncertainty of the EU’s prospects and the resurgence of Euroscepticism, populism, nationalism, and patriotism in several European countries, primarily in France, Netherlands, and Italy.

However, UK’s internal integration (England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland) will be endangered by the possible disintegration.
