Possible Scenarios
In the article by Dhingra et al.(2016), authors gave two possible scenarios on Brexit issue: optimistic and pessimistic. In the optimistic scenario, Great Britain will purchase their budget for country needs and can obtain full success to the EU single market. In the pessimistic scenario, they assumed that UK may not be successful in negotiating with new countries. Along with this, they predicted Great Britain after Brexit will become an independent player and will use their freedom to negotiate with other world powers as China and United States without restriction. According to the Krotz (2017), Brexit will bring three possible scenarios: German hegemon, decline of European integration process and “back to the future”

Along with this, France has other concerns. This country has invested significant economic investments in Britain, and more than 160,000 French citizens now live on British territory. About 400 thousand British citizens live in France and may face the fact that they will lose their rights in the EU. Politically, France will not have a choice, and together with Germany and the other founding members of the EU, it will have to take the lead in the future functioning of the European Union after Brexit. The leader of the French "National Front", Marin Le Pen, said at the meeting of the right-wing politicians in Germany that patriotism is the policy of the future. Le Pen is convinced that the decision of the British to leave the European Union last year will provoke a domino effect throughout the European Union. She also criticized the migration policy of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, as a result of which millions of refugees found themselves in Europe. The leader of the French National Front, Marin Le Pen, admitted that she is ready to vote for secession from the European Union, because France has "a thousand times more reasons to leave the European community than the
Since 1973 when the British first joined the European Union their membership has been a controversial issue. When conservatives in the United Kingdom won the general election in 2015, their election manifesto promised to hold a referendum on whether or not the United Kingdom should stay or leave the European Union. The referendum also referred to as “Brexit” is scheduled to take place by the end of 2017. The United Kingdom initially joined the union to be part of the common market for the purpose of trade and to develop international relationships. The main argument for those who are pro Brexit is that being part of the European Union is too costly for the United Kingdom, that the EU has grown to large, has interfered to far into
What kind of harm will Britain pulling out of the European Union cause to the equilibrium, even with them taking precautions?
Specifically, in 2017, the World Bank named the United Kingdom the seventh strongest economy in the world, with projected economic growth of 1.3%, 1.6%, 2.1%, and 2.3% in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively (“Trade Regulations,” 2017; “Economic and Risk Analysis,” n.d.). However, these projections neglect to account for the Brexit transition, where higher growth is expected, as regulations will be rewritten to further support trade and welcome foreign investment, with tariffs sinking as low as 1.6% (Wheeler, 2018). Largely, indicating greater economic growth, more available jobs, and higher rates of disposable
“Whatever happens, Britain will surely require vast new numbers of bureaucrats, people to work on the new arrangements and people to enforce them. It will almost certainly turn out that Britain saved money by being part of Europe, because economies of scale made regulation much cheaper. It will almost certainly turn out that Britain was more powerful — with more sovereignty — when it was part of a large organization with international clout. Many of the other parties to those 759 deals will seek to take advantage of an isolated country with far fewer allies. British consumers, workers and entrepreneurs will pay the
The main global issue that the Brexit has caused global economic growth to decline, and this decline is expected to extend to the long term if things keep going this way. A main reason that this Brexit has caused global economic growth to decline is because Germany and the United Kingdom work closely together, as well as much of other parts of Europe. Because Germany’s automotive industry is very dependent on the United Kingdom. The Brexit is reducing British imports by 12.5 percent which will
To determine the likelihood of a French withdrawal from the European Union, the pre-referendum conditions the lead to the UK’s withdrawal will be compared current conditions in France. If the condition sets are similar, a frexit may ensue. The main conditions that will be explored are: the economics comparison between France and the EU; the will of the French public in comparison to populism; and the public perception of French politicians, is even populism relevant?
After the United Kingdom’s (UK) decision to leave the European Union (EU) there has been numerous questions and uncertainty of how this will impact the British economy and its trade market. By enlarge the majority of large businesses argue that it will have a negative impact and consequently have backed out of protentional new investments in the UK because of this uncertainty. An example of this is Lloyd’s of London who have axed plans for a new sharing worth potentially 9 billion pounds due to post- Brexit instability. This may also be the case for many large businesses until the leave is complete and the economy is once again stable. However, it can also be argued that Brexit may very well lead to new trade opportunities outside of
Brexit is a term commonly known as Britain exiting from European Union membership. The historic referendum on the UK and EU membership held on June 23, 2016. Although majority of Londoner wanted to stay with EU, 52 percent voters voted to support the leave campaign to leave European Union. Since World War two the world saw a rising trend of economic development and globalization in Europe. Brexit has ended this trend. Since United
It is precise that we begin by explaining the meaning of the term “Brexit”; it is a portmanteau of the words “Britain” and “Exit”, which was just one of the terms for the results of the 2016 referendum, the other one was “Bremain” (Britain and remain) which was a lot less promoted and controversial. For the 2016 referendum, 52% of the votes went for Britain leaving the European Union, in a poll with 72% of participation, a total of 33.577.342 votes, 17.410.742 for Brexit and 16.577.342 for Britain staying in the European Union (BBC World, 2016). England voted for Brexit, by 53.4% to 46.6%, as did Wales, with Leave getting 52.5% of the vote and Remain 47.5%. Scotland and Northern Ireland both backed staying in the EU. Scotland backed Remain by 62% to 38%, while 55.8% in Northern Ireland voted Remain and 44.2% Leave (Hunt and Wheeler, 2016).
The united kingdom's relationship going forward is most likely going to become non-existent. If they want to continue trade with European countries they will have to be ensure they’re complying to the blocs trade standards and rules, and other countries as well. The European Union has insisted that if the United Kingdom wants to continue trade with any of the EU countries, then the UK must continue to abide by the EU’s trading standards. This will become a big complication for the UK when creating trade deals with countries who have different standards.
The straight economics is clear: Brexit would make Britain poorer. It wouldn’t necessarily lead to a trade war, but it would definitely hurt British trade with the rest of Europe, reducing productivity and incomes. My rough calculations, which are in line with other estimates, suggest that Britain would end up about two percent poorer than it would otherwise be, essentially forever. That’s a big hit.
First, few words about the title of this communication. It refers to the article “The Irish question a British problem” published by John Hume in 1979. It encouraged, in that time, Dublin and London governments to sit together with Northern Irish parties. To define their roles and responsibilities in the situation in Northern Ireland. But also to find a way out of their quarrels. This title is also a reference to John Hume himself. Because we may lack in the current generation of politicians, people such as John Hume. He defined the European project as a model of effective reconciliation and cooperation between old enemies. Despite the fact that this article has been published 37 years ago, it has some relevant parts on today prospect of Brexit.
We have set one of our research objetives as “define the different possible international trade agreements outcomes of the Brexit process”. We feel one of the first steps we will need to take is establishing the possible scenarios that will result from the Brexit, that is, what is the position the UK will be in regarding trade agreements. This is important, since depending on what conditions the UK manages to negotiate, the import and export activity will be affected in different ways (an unfavourable outcome would be, for example, the establishment of tariffs, which would adversely affect the trade flows).
Will Le Pen’s claim of deporting all foreigners suspected of a connection to radical Islamism make France safer? “Definitely not,” replied Mr. Callanan, “on the contrary, the anti-immigration and anti-Islam stance can be taken too far and be counter-productive.”
On June 24th 2016, British residents made the collective decision to branch away from the European Union. (The Washington Post) This exit is also to be referenced as “Brexit”. This came as a shock that resonated across the economic markets. This decision trails along greater economic repercussions that will negatively affect the U.K. and global financial markets. The growth in vagueness concerning economic growth in the United Kingdom is the motive for the instantaneous reaction that occurred in the economic markets. Brexit will unavoidably amplify the discrepancy between the UK and their
