ABSTRACT

In A Troubled Constitutional Future: Northern Ireland After Brexit examines the complex and evolving constitutional status of Northern Ireland post Brexit. The book explores the political and constitutional implications of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, focusing on the position of Northern Ireland, which shares a border with the Republic of Ireland, an EU member state. The authors analyze how Brexit has strained the Good Friday Agreement and raised questions about sovereignty, governance, and the future of the Irish border. The book delves into the challenges facing Northern Ireland, including the potential for renewed political instability, the impact on intergovernmental relations, and the tensions surrounding national identity. Murphy and Evershed provide a comprehensive assessment of the uncertain constitutional future of Northern Ireland and its place in the post-Brexit UK.
