This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of 2017, the UK electorate will be invited to decide whether the UK should remain a member of the EU or leave the EU. Before inviting the electorate to make its choice, the Government is renegotiating the terms of the UK's EU membership. A process as critical as this should be subject to the most careful scrutiny. Yet we have found the Government's approach to Parliament during the renegotiation so far to be reactive and opaque. The onus has been placed on Parliament to guess when to request information and evidence from the Government and others. We regret this approach on a topic of such national importance. Dialogue between the Government and Parliament needs to improve substantially after the December European Council. Under Standing Orders, much of our work involves evaluating EU proposals for legal and political importance. In a similar way, we have assessed each of the Government's four areas of renegotiation against its own criteria. We conclude that the negotiation priorities as set out by the Prime Minister will not deliver the legally binding and irreversible agreement leading to reform of the EU nor a fundamental change in the UK's relationship with it envisaged by him. Given that no Treaty amendments will be made before the referendum, voters are entitled to know the extent to which subsequent Treaty amendment will be required to deliver any new agreement, and how robust and meaningful any guarantees or promises in this respect may be. The Government envisages immediate delivery of the renegotiation outcome by means of an international agreement. It should be clear to the voters that any such agreement would be consistent with the existing EU Treaties only insofar as it is limited to interpreting or supplementing them. It cannot substantively alter the EU Treaties.

Book Synopsis The future of the European Union by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Foreign Affairs Committee
Download or read book The future of the European Union written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Foreign Affairs Committee and published by Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proposals for reforms for the EU as a whole are likely to find a more favourable reception than possible requests for further 'special treatment' for the UK. The Committee is sceptical that other Member States would be willing to renegotiate existing EU law so as to allow the UK on its own to reduce its degree of integration, especially where this could be seen as undermining the integrity of the Single Market. Other Member States appear to want the UK to remain an EU Member. Closer Eurozone integration is a potential risk to the position of the UK and other non-Eurozone states in the EU. However, the December 2012 agreement on the Single Supervisory Mechanism for banking regulation shows what the UK can achieve to protect its position. The Eurozone is in any case far from a homogenous bloc and the expansion and closer integration of the Eurozone does not therefore necessarily render the UK's position in the EU impossible or worthless. This report does not examine whether the UK should remain in the EU or withdraw. However, it agrees with the Government that, if the UK were to leave the EU, the current arrangements for relations with the EU which are maintained by Norway or Switzerland would not be appropriate for the UK. If it is in the UK's interest to remain in the Single Market, the UK should either remain in the EU, or launch an effort for radical institutional change in Europe to give decision-making rights in the Single Market to all its participating states
Book Synopsis An Awkward Partner by : Stephen George
Download or read book An Awkward Partner written by Stephen George and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 1998 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third edition of an established textbook on Britain's role in the European Community. Britain joined the EC in 1973, over twenty years after the first of the European Communities was formed. Within a year, she had established a reputation for being at odds with major Community initiatives and for taking an independent point of view.This reputation was consolidated over the next twenty-four years. In An Awkward Partner Stephen George surveys the policies that earned Britain this reputation, recording the role successive British governments have played in the European Community. He stresses the influence both of external circumstances and domestic political considerations in shaping these policies and analyses some of the underlying political reasons for Britain's perceived awkwardness. The first edition was the first book-length survey to appear in English of British policy toward the European Community, and rapidly became established as the leading book in the field for students. In this third edition, Stephen George brings his analysis up to date, taking the story of the Major Government through to its end in the 1997 general election. This new edition will continue to be invaluable to students taking courses on the European Community, comparative European politics, and public policy.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 23 June 2016 the people of the United Kingdom will decide whether the country should remain in or leave the European Union. This referendum will be, in the words of the Prime Minister, a "huge decision for our country, perhaps the biggest we will make in our lifetimes". The Government's confirmation that an in/out referendum would be held in June followed intense negotiations with the other 27 Member States and the EU institutions. These culminated in the European Council's agreement, on 19 February 2016, to a "new settlement for the United Kingdom within the European Union". The Government was clear throughout the negotiations that its support for continuing EU membership would depend upon reaching a successful outcome. Yet the referendum question makes no reference to either the negotiations or the "new settlement". In this report we explore the linkage between the negotiations, the "new settlement", and the more fundamental, once-in-a-generation decision that awaits the electorate on 23 June. We trace the origins of the Government's negotiating objectives, and consider the degree to which they reflect a consensus within and across the United Kingdom on the advantages and drawbacks of EU membership

Book Synopsis Brexit and British Politics by : Geoffrey Evans
Download or read book Brexit and British Politics written by Geoffrey Evans and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brexit has changed everything - from our government, to our economy and principal trading relationship, to the organization of our state. This watershed moment, which surprised most observers and mobilized previously apathetic sections of the electorate, is already transforming British politics in profound and lasting ways. In this incisive book, leading analysts of UK and EU politics Geoffrey Evans and Anand Menon step back from the immediacy and hyperbole of the Referendum to explain what happened on 23 June 2016, and why. Brexit, they argue, was the product of both long-term dissatisfaction with the EU and a gradual breakdown in the relationship between parties and voters that spawned detachment, disinterest and disenchantment. Exploring its subsequent impact on the June 2017 General Election, they reveal the extent to which Brexit has shattered the contemporary equilibrium of British politics. These reverberations will continue to be felt for a very long time and could pose a real danger to the health of British democracy if the government fails to deliver on the promises linked to Brexit.

Book Synopsis Why the UK Voted for Brexit by : Andrew Glencross
Download or read book Why the UK Voted for Brexit written by Andrew Glencross and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the unprecedented decision of 23 June 2016, which saw the UK electorate vote to leave the EU, turning David Cameron’s referendum gamble into a great miscalculation. It analyzes the renegotiation that preceded the vote, before examining the campaign itself so as to understand why the government’s strategy for winning foundered. It then evaluates the implications that this decision has for the country’s international relations as well as for its domestic politics. The author’s final reflections are on the political philosophy of Brexit, which is founded on a critique of representative democracy. Yet the use of direct democracy to trigger EU withdrawal leaves the supposedly sovereign British people at an impasse. For it is up to the people’s representatives to negotiate the terms of Brexit. By engaging with a highly charged political debate in an accessible and non-partisan manner this book will appeal to a broad readership of academics, policy-makers, journalists, and interested citizens.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'deal' concerning a new settlement for the United Kingdom within the European Union covers questions relating to the Economic Governance of the EU and of the Euro area. Whilst the 'deal' was negotiated with a view to the United Kingdom, the provision in the respective documents of the 'deal' address 'non euro area Member States'. By that, the 'deal' on the new settlement has consequences that go beyond the membership of the UK in the EU. As an international agreement, the core document of the 'deal', a decision of the Heads of State or Government, exclusively binds Member States but no Union institutions. It, furthermore, must be in compliance with existing EU Primary and secondary law. Otherwise the decision is within the scope of application of EU law inapplicable. This sets the playing field, within which the 'new settlement' affects the existing Economic Governance of the EU and the Euro area.

Book Synopsis The Future of the European Union by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Foreign Affairs Committee
Download or read book The Future of the European Union written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Foreign Affairs Committee and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our inquiry into Government policy on the future of the European Union was triggered by the Prime Minister's veto of EU Treaty change at the December 2011 meeting of the European Council. We felt that the episode might mark a defining moment in the UK's EU policy and place in the EU. Our Report examines the key overarching principles of Government policy for the UK's place in the EU, for as long as the UK may remain a Member State. It also starts to explore some of the implications of the Prime Minister's major EU speech of January 2013, in which he committed any Conservative Government elected in the 2015 General Election to holding an in/out referendum on the UK's continued EU membership by the end of 2017 ... There is support for some of Mr Cameron's reform ideas around the EU, and there is significant scope for further progress on some of them. Beyond this, given that the Prime Minister has not spelled out in any detail the content of the new settlement that a Conservative Government elected in the 2015 General Election might seek for the UK in the EU, and given that it is over a year, at least, before any major EU Treaty reform process seems likely to get underway, it is impossible to assess the likelihood of him securing the kind of new settlement for the UK in the EU that he might seek. However, we are clear that UK proposals for pan-EU reforms are likely to find a more favourable reception than requests for further special treatment for the UK. We are sceptical that other Member States would renegotiate existing EU law so as to allow the UK alone to reduce its degree of integration, particularly where this could be seen as undermining the integrity of the Single Market. The Government must reckon with the fact that the body of existing EU law is a collective product in which 27 countries have invested. Our sense is that other Member States want the UK to remain an EU Member. However, we do not think that a UK Government could successfully demand any price from other Member States for promising to try to keep the UK in the Union.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 2016, the United Kingdom shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union. As this book reveals, the historic vote for Brexit marked the culmination of trends in domestic politics and in the UK's relationship with the EU that have been building over many years. Drawing on a wealth of survey evidence collected over more than ten years, this book explains why most people decided to ignore much of the national and international community and vote for Brexit. Drawing on past research on voting in major referendums in Europe and elsewhere, a team of leading academic experts analyse changes in the UK's party system that were catalysts for the referendum vote, including the rise of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), the dynamics of public opinion during an unforgettable and divisive referendum campaign, the factors that influenced how people voted and the likely economic and political impact of this historic decision.
Download or read book For the Record written by David Cameron and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 1076 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Cameron was elected Conservative leader in 2005, promising to modernize the party following its three successive electoral defeats. He became Prime Minister in 2010, forming Britain’s first coalition government in 70 years, at a moment of economic crisis, and went on to win the first outright Conservative majority for 23 years at the 2015 general election. In For the Record, he will explain how the governments he led transformed the UK economy while implementing a modern, compassionate agenda that included reforming education and welfare, legalizing gay marriage, honoring the UK’s commitment to overseas aid and spearheading environmental policies. He will shed light on the seminal world events of his premiership—the Arab Spring; the rise of ISIS; the invasion of Ukraine; the conflicts in Libya, Iraq and Syria—as well as events at home, from the Olympic Games in 2012 to the Scottish referendum. He will provide, for the first time, his perspective on the EU referendum and his views on the future of Britain’s place in the world following Brexit. Revealing the battles and achievements of his life and career in intimate and frank detail, For the Record will be an important assessment of the significant political events of the last decade, the nature of power and the role of leadership at a time of profound global change.
