Beyond Brexit?: How to Assess the UK's Future

Description

As the UK negotiates Brexit, Janice Morphet offers a context for current debates and a new framework with which to assess and discuss forthcoming negotiations taking into account the likely effects on the UK of forthcoming EU policies, and an analysis of the implications of policies foregone. Includes discussion of what Brexit means for the devolved nations, and the island of Ireland.

Prof Janice Morphet is a Visiting Professor at the Bartlett School of Planning. A Fellow of the Royal Town Planning Institute and of the Academy of Social Sciences, she has been chief executive of a local authority, head of University school of planning and landscape, a senior adviser on local government in central government and a consultant. Janice has been a trustee of the RTPI and TCPA and was a member of the planning committee for the London 2012 Olympic Games. A frequent speaker, she has written several books and papers on planning, governance and infrastructure.

"Janice Morphet is an expert - especially on the domestic ramifications of UK membership of the EU. Experts are disparaged these days but whatever the know-nothings pretend, leaving is complicated and her specialist knowledge is desperately relevant." David Walker, contributing editor, Guardian Public "Professor Morphet is fair, balanced, lucid and rigorous and that's why Gove, Farage and the Leavers will hate this book: exiting the EU cannot but be a tremendously complex and protracted affair." Polly Toynbee, Journalist and author "Morphet offers a timely and much needed analysis of the effects, implications and challenges posed by Brexit. Critically, the book looks not just at the story emerging within the UK, but also examines the prospects for Anglo-Irish relations." Professor Claire A. Dunlop, University of Exeter "The UK government's decision to seek to leave the EU as a result of an advisory referendum is like throwing a very big rock into a very large pond. Janice Morphet provides a useful and timely guide to the resulting bigger waves and smaller ripples of `Brexit'." Colin R. Talbot, Professor of Government, University of Manchester
