"Amidst all the noise, the heat and the rage generated by Brexit here are some much needed facts, insights and analysis on what really led to Brexit and how it is changing our politics forever." "Here is the thinking person's guide to Brexit... all the facts crunched so you don't have to, it is a trusty book to have close at hand in the years (yes, years) ahead. Tireless referees during the referendum, the authors were my valued sounding boards and, if not already, should be yours too." "There is a need for a concise, well-written book that puts matters in perspective and sketches the impact on British politics and society. Brexit and British Politics, by Geoffrey Evans and Anand Menon, fits the bill." "Nobody is better qualified than Geoff Evans and Anand Menon to provide a penetrating analysis of the UK's truly historic decision to leave the EU. This book is bound to be a must-read for anyone seeking an incisive guide to Brexit and its aftermath." "Geoffrey Evans and Anand Menon's authoritative text digs into the rebalancing of political values that lay behind the referendum." "For those who want a short, readable and well-researched introduction to Brexit and its place in British politics, this is the book to have. Its accessibility is deceptive: behind the text, there is a library of research that has been distilled into its pages."

Der Brexit hat alles verändert - unsere Regierung, unsere traditionellen Handelsbeziehungen, die Struktur und Organisation des britischen Staates. Dieser Wendepunkt, der die meisten Beobachter überrascht und vormals apathische Teile der Wählerschaft mobilisiert hat, wird die britische Politik tiefgreifend und anhaltend verändern.
In diesem treffenden Buch lösen sich die führenden Analysten britischer und europäischer Politik Geoffrey Evans und Anand Menon von der Unmittelbarkeit des Referendums und erklären, was am 23. Juni 2016 passiert ist und warum. Sie offenbaren die langfristigen Faktoren, die in der britischen Entscheidung, die Europäische Union zu verlassen, ihren Höhepunkt fanden, und zeigen, dass aus vielerlei Gründen die Entscheidung die logische Folge von Verschiebungen in der politischen Landschaft war, die sich seit Jahrzehnten vollziehen. Nur wenn man das Ergebnis des Austritts in einen breiteren Zusammenhang stellt, lassen sich die Folgen für die Zukunft des Vereinigten Königreichs und der EU-Politik in ihrer Gesamtheit erfassen, so die Autoren.
