Britain's 2016 vote to leave the EU divided the nation, unleashing years of political turmoil. The result has been a sulphurous atmosphere in which many remain unreconciled to Brexit whilst, in a tragic irony, some of those most committed to it are angry and dissatisfied with what was delivered.
In this clear-headed assessment, Chris Grey argues that this painful legacy was all but inevitable. Left undefined by the referendum, the actual meaning of Brexit emerged only gradually, through the confusing and often dramatic events that followed. This compelling book skilfully unpacks those events, explaining how and why the promise of Brexit dissolved, creating discontent on all sides.
Chris Grey studied Economics and Politics at Manchester University, where he then completed a PhD on the regulation of financial services. He later became Professor of Organization Studies at Cambridge University and a Fellow of Wolfson College.
He subsequently moved to Warwick University and then to Royal Holloway, University of London, where he is now an Emeritus Professor. He has held visiting professorships at Copenhagen Business School and Universite Paris-Dauphine and is a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences.
He has written extensively on Brexit, including an internationally popular and widely praised blog, and is frequently quoted in the media (e.g. Financial Times, Reuters). He has appeared as a Brexit expert on the BBC, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Germany's ARD and elsewhere. He has given invited expert evidence to the Scottish Parliament and his writings appear on the House of Commons Library and Northern Ireland Assembly reading lists.
