- Fourth volume in the leading series for the analysis of Brexit
This book examines the law and politics of the Protocol on
Ireland/Northern Ireland, attached to the Withdrawal Agreement, which
regulates the terms of Brexit. The Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland
deals with the most complex issue which emerged during the withdrawal
negotiations between the United Kingdom (UK) and the European Union
(EU), namely how to avoid a hard border in the island of Ireland and
preserve the peace process started in Northern Ireland with the 1998
Belfast Good Friday Agreement. To this end, the Protocol, which was
agreed in its final form in October 2019, establishes a bespoke
solution, notably by keeping Northern Ireland aligned to EU customs and
internal market rules. Nevertheless, the operation of the Protocol,
which has formally entered into force in January 2021, has stirred
political controversies in the Unionist community in Northern Ireland,
and caused diplomatic confrontation between the EU and the UK. The
purpose of this book is therefore to provide the first interdisciplinary
overview of the Protocol, shedding light on its context, content, and
challenges. This book — which brings together contributions by leading
legal scholars, political scientists, sociologists, and trade experts
from Northern Ireland, Ireland, Great Britain, Europe, and the United
States — provides a comprehensive and contextual assessment of the
Protocol. It examines its setting, including constitutional trends in
the UK and Ireland, focuses on its substantive clauses dealing with
human rights and cross-border cooperation, as well as on those related
to trade, and analyses its governance mechanisms, including democratic
consent and safeguards.
