The best of Juncture on Europe, Brexit and the EU
Article
Brexit is official. The editors of Juncture offer a reading guide to help us better understand how we got here, and prepare us for what's ahead.
With the triggering of article 50, the UK’s 44-year membership of the European project will shortly draw to a close, fundamentally changing – and challenging – the political-economic order of the UK. Juncture has charted the UK’s complicated relationship with Europe, the future of the EU itself, and how the politics and economics of exit will reshape the country. We are pleased to bring together the best of this writing here, to both better understand how we got here, and where we are going.
These articles are free to read on Wiley Online Library for the next 30 days, courtesy of our publisher Wiley-Blackwell.
