  • More about Brexit and the Political Economy of Ireland: Creating a New Economic Settlement


The UK's departure from the EU has had a significant impact on Northern Ireland's politics and economics, making it difficult to build an innovative economy and imperiling the advances made since the Belfast Agreement. This book argues for a radical reorientation of the Northern Ireland economy through the incremental creation of an all-Ireland economy, while also considering the political feasibility of Irish unity.

The UK's departure from the EU has had a significant impact on Northern Ireland's politics and economics. Brexit has disrupted a political settlement that was emerging in the region, where nationalism and unionism were avoiding aggressive pursuit of their own goals or making excessive demands on each other. Economically, it has made it exceedingly challenging to establish an innovative economy in the region. Without significant change, Northern Ireland is likely to remain an economic outlier within the underperforming UK economy.

This book is the first comprehensive examination of the consequences of Brexit on Northern Ireland and Ireland's political and economic future. It provides a detailed analysis of the Belfast Agreement and emphasizes how Brexit threatens the progress achieved since its signing in 1998. It offers a impartial evaluation of the adjustments required to strengthen Northern Ireland's economy. On the one hand, the demands for immediate Irish unification made loudly and persistently by nationalists and republicans are considered too hasty. The two economies on the island are not yet prepared for Irish unity. On the other hand, the book advocates for a radical reorientation of Northern Ireland's economy through the gradual establishment of an all-Ireland economy.

The book cuts through the rhetoric surrounding discussions about the Northern Ireland economy and provides a realistic assessment of its structure, performance, and economic viability for Irish unity. It offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing Northern Ireland as it navigates the aftermath of Brexit.
