The modern Brexit agenda: Some consequences of "take back control"

Abstract

Brexit, the historically unique process of the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, has continued to dominate the global conversation for several years and its significance has not waned. The withdrawal of a state from the EU happened for the first time in more than half a century of its history. Despite the formal completion of Brexit, many related issues regarding the implementation of the EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement, the status of Northern Ireland, the implementation of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the two parties, the place of EU law in the British national legal order, are still not finally resolved. The adopted legal decisions influence the current development of both the EU and especially the UK's legal order. All this allows us to talk about the actual continuation of Brexit and the formation of its modern agenda.
