Bordering Two Unions
Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. How does Brexit change Northern Ireland’s system of government? Could it unravel crucial parts of Northern Ireland’s peace process? What are the wider implications of the arrangements for the Irish and UK constitutions?
Northern Ireland presents some of the most difficult Brexit dilemmas.
Negotiations between the UK and the EU have set out how issues like citizenship, trade, the border, human rights and constitutional questions may be resolved. But the long-term impact of Brexit isn’t clear.
This thorough analysis draws upon EU, UK, Irish and international law, setting the scene for a post-Brexit Northern Ireland by showing what the future might hold.
"A vital topic on which there is no comprehensive guide for the general public or for interested politicians and policy makers" Fiona de Londras, University of Birmingham

Ben Warwick is a Lecturer in Law at the University of Birmingham. Ben’s research explores how economic considerations affect the implementation of human rights (especially socio-economic rights) and how human rights bodies function during crises.
