Brexit has left an indelible mark on British politics, extending its influence beyond the UK's relationship with the EU. In this comprehensive Handbook, we delve into the far-reaching consequences of the UK's departure from the EU, examining its impact on the EU itself, individual countries within and beyond Europe, the international system, diverse social groups, generations, and territories within the UK.

Drawing from a wealth of expert contributions, John Erik Fossum and Christopher Lord have assembled a collection of 29 insightful chapters that explore the intricate web of actors and processes that shaped Brexit. These chapters cover a range of topics, including the factors that contributed to the success of the 'Leave campaign, the role of EU institutions in the Brexit process, the implications for other member states and global actors, and the challenges of political legitimacy posed by the UK's departure.

The Handbook concludes with a thoughtful discussion of the alternative relationships and opportunities that await the UK in the post-Brexit era. By advancing multiple specialized perspectives and approaches to Brexit, this Handbook serves as an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and researchers in the fields of British and EU politics. Its comprehensive overview of recent developments within the EU provides a solid foundation for scholars and research institutes to develop their own research on this pivotal political event.
