Liberalizing Immigration Policies for the UK Agricultural Sector in the Post-Brexit Era
2022
We investigate the effects of immigration policies on the UK agricultural sector under the new post-Brexit deal through a computable general equilibrium framework. We consider bilateral flows of migrants and frictions as part of capital and labor mobility to compare the point-based immigration system to open immigration policies in terms of their impacts on agriculture. We also integrate the GTAP-GMig2 immigration model with the GTAP-AGR agriculture model. Our findings show that liberal immigration policies have positive effects on production, farmers’ income, and overall welfare. The benefits increase if these policies are combined with reduced bureaucracy and lower behind-the-border costs…
European Banking System - Before and After Brexit -
2021
Abstract The history of the last 15 years has been marked by many events at European level, some which led to the last wave of EU enlargement in 2013, with the accession of Croatia, others that led European authorities to take radical action in order to overcome the crisis of 2007-2008, and recently the pandemic crisis of 2020, and the others that marked the first contraction of the European Union since its establishment, together with the decision of Great Britain to no longer be part of the European Union, a phenomenon known as Brexit. Starting from the important role that Great Britain played in the European Union, London being a famous financial and banking center, through this paper we…
Las raíces del 'Brexit': institucionalización del euroescepticismo
2021
El Reino Unido votó abandonar la Unión Europea el 23 de junio de 2016, con un 51,9% de votos. Fue una decisión que sorprendió a todo el mundo, pese a que un análisis de la relación entre ambos actores puede denotar cierta ajenidad en el comportamiento del Estado británico respecto al organismo supranacional. Es por esto por lo que la tesis del presente estudio va a ser que la campaña del Leave basó sus argumentos en cuestiones identitarias y emocionales, para lo que reprodujeron las tradiciones históricas de la relación entre el Reino Unido y la Unión Europea. Para defenderla, se analizarán las razones esgrimidas en la campaña del Referéndum del 2016, a fin de buscar una explicación del fra…
Brexit and Anti-Parliament Discourses among Conservative MPs (2016–2019)
2020
Abstract Brexit seems to have produced a new form of narrative in the Conservative Party in which some Conservative MPs brand themselves first and foremost as representatives of ‘the people’. Following on from the 2016 EU referendum, a new discourse has become prominent in the party and has also been developed as a new critique of the British Parliament. An analysis of Hansard debates between July 2016 and December 2019 helps identify different forms of anti-Parliament narrative which denounce the paralysis of the legislative process as well as its anti-democratic and conspiratorial features. By doing so, they reveal a radical departure from the historic values of the Conservative party suc…
How Brexit affects EU external action: The UK’s legacy in European international cooperation
2018
Abstract What exactly Brexit means for British engagement in European external affairs and development cooperation, is highly unclear, while its potential impact is considerable. After the general election in the UK on 8 June 2017, uncertainty regarding the direction, process and timing of the Brexit negotiations and the risk of a disorderly separation have risen further. The government position of a ‘hard Brexit’ seems no longer to be carved in stone. Yet, given the expected – total or partial – withdrawal of a major EU member state, like any area of EU politics, also European development policy faces a number of challenges: short-term problems regarding existing legal obligations, looming…
European comission's identity during brexit : a communication strategy change on twitter
2021
The European Union (EU) was founded to promote peace, prosperity and other values between an increasing number of member states (European Commission, 2001). However, Brexit has activated a reputation crisis that reinforces Euroscepticism (Borzel; Risse, 2018). The objective of the study is to identify the differences in the semantic construction and thematic framing of the European Commission during a two-year period, previous to Brexit and after Brexit, on a sample of 4827 tweets posted by the European Commission. Findings show that in the period before Brexit, the EU is presented as an abstract political body, highly informative on major crisis, and reactively framing messages with values…
New Alliances in Post-Brexit Europe: Does the New Hanseatic League Revive Nordic Political Cooperation?
2020
As Brexit removes the Nordic countries’ most powerful ally from the EU, what does this imply for their approach to European affairs? The literature on small states within the EU suggests that they can counterbalance limited bargaining capacities by entering two types of alliances: strategic partnerships with bigger member states and institutionalised cooperation on a regional basis. Against this backdrop we ask whether, by significantly raising the costs of non-cooperation for Nordic governments, the Brexit referendum has triggered a revival of Nordic political cooperation. We scrutinise this conjecture by analysing Nordic strategies of coalition-building on EU financial and budgetary polic…
The Case of “EMU-Outsiders”: Economic and Political Considerations
2016
Our paper discusses the option of three EU countries – United Kingdom, Sweden and Denmark – of not joining the EMU and analyses whether besides their subjective option of staying out of the EMU there is also an economic reason behind this decision, based on existing literature in the field. The three “EMU-outsiders” are different in terms of economic power, financial market attributes, monetary policy rules employed and political decisions. In each case, the choice to remain outside EMU was based on economic reasons, as well as political and sometimes nationalist arguments. Of the three countries under scrutiny, Denmark is by far the one which has the best prospects of joining EMU, given it…
The role of news values in the discur-sive construction of the Brexit refer-endum in the UK press
2022
El objetivo principal de este estudio es explorar el discurso periodístico de la campaña del referéndum del Brexit en Reino Unido desde la perspectiva de los estudios del discurso asistidos por corpus (CADS). En concreto, se analiza cómo se construyeron discursivamente diferentes temas y debates relacionados con el Brexit en la cobertura de la prensa británica de calidad durante la campaña del referéndum. Asimismo, se investigan las diferencias ideológicas en la construcción discursiva de dicha cobertura según las afiliaciones políticas (izquierda-derecha) y las posturas ideológicas hacia el Brexit (Bandos de Salida-Permanencia). Para ello, se recopiló un corpus de cuatro diarios británicos…
