Slipping Loose

by Professor Martin Westlake, Martin Westlake

Westlake argues that Brexit should be seen as a series of longer-term trends that were inexorably leading, or pushing, the UK away from full membership of the European Union, rather than as a sudden, impulsive act of rejection.

Publisher Description

The 2016 Brexit referendum result has been portrayed as the consequence of various short-term phenomena: the financial crisis, austerity, migration and UKIP, to name a few. Overnight the political future of the UK took an unprecedented and unexpected turn against EU membership. Since then, the UK's government has been charting unknown waters in its negotiations to disentangle the United Kingdom from its membership and obligations to the European Union.In this book, Martin Westlake argues that focus on the short-term, reflex action of the Brexit vote has overshadowed a series of longer-term trends that were inexorably leading, or pushing, the UK away from full membership of the European Union. He shows that the UK was an increasingly semi-detached member, requiring ever more elaborate and ingenious fixes with opt-outs and rebates to keep its involvement in the project. Rather than a sudden, impulsive act of rejection, Brexit should be seen as having taken place over a number of years at various levels: a gradual slipping of the ties that bound the country to the European Union.

Review

A deeply informed study of Britain's difficult relationship with the Continent and compulsory reading for both europhiles and eurosceptics. -- Vernon Bogdanor, Professor of Government, King's College London
A thoughtful and fascinating book. Martin Westlake does what far too few people bother to do any more. He has taken the trouble to place the ongoing Brexit saga into a broader historical context. The result is both enjoyable and hugely rewarding. I recommend it to all those interested in understanding the UK's relationship with the European Union. -- Anand Menon, Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs, King's College London
In a subtle account of the UK's fifty-year non-engagement with the European project, Martin Westlake brings his professional and academic erudition to bear on the issue of the moment. A gripping story of hesitation, negligence and retreat, Slipping Loose offers a longer view of Brexit, one that is likely to occupy minds on both sides of the Channel for years to come. -- Luuk van Middelaar, Professor of European Union Law, Leiden University and author of Alarums and Excursions
Martin Westlake's analysis is exceptionally well informed. It draws on an extensive understanding of the EU's development, a rich range of primary data and sources (including an interview with David Cameron), and – importantly – Westlake's own insights from a 30-year career involving positions in the Council of Ministers, the European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee ... an engaging blend of empirical richness, insider perspectives and cogent analysis. -- David Phinnemore, European Political Science
