Abstract
This book examines Brexit, the first occasion on which a Member State has declared its intention to leave the European Union (EU). More specifically it examines Brexit from the viewpoint of, and the consequences for, the remaining 27 Member States. This chapter outlines the book’s scope, which includes examinations of whether the EU is likely to get stronger or weaker as a consequence of Brexit, attitudes in the EU 27 towards Brexit and the future of the EU, key aspects of the UK’s legacy for the EU, and the potential impacts of Brexit on the EU’s institutions, working methods and policy priorities.
