This book takes an innovative approach to provide a mirror perspective of the legal systems of the UK and the EU in contemporary institutional scenarios. At the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, the legal systems of the EU and the UK are facing challenges of epic proportions. Never before have the two legal orders been confronted with the simultaneous impact of a series of events. First, the effect of the “divorce” between the two regulatory systems caused by the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. The Negotiating Documents and the Draft Texts being discussed and aimed at leading to a `New Partnership’ are examined in the book. Second, the book discusses the impact of the coronavirus shock in all European economies leading to a substantial change of political perspective in the EU legal order implying innovative debt instruments. Third, it explores the consequences of the judicial activism of the German Constitutional Court undermining the strategic role of the European Central Bank and the primacy of the European Union Court of Justice. The book questions the effects deriving from the legacy, i.e. the foundations of the two legal systems, on handling the issues of our time, the impact on market regulation of the striking contemporary events and the unsettled consequences on policy of the current convulsing political and financial landscape. The book will be essential reading for those working in the areas of European public regulatory law.

It will discuss business finding it costly to relocate investment from UK, how Brexit will affect remittance migration to the extent of political contagion, how Brexit is likely to create a gap in the budgetary of the EU, the effect Brexit is likely to take EU’s influence in the international world and how Brexit breeds uncertainty which is bad for business in the EU and risks political contagion.

Shattering the mold of the traditional political memoir, Unleashed is a candid, unrestrained, and revealing book by Boris Johnson, the Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. In Unleashed, Johnson takes readers through all the big decisions during his time in power and why he took them. The challenges and crises, how they were resolved—or not—and how he nearly died from Covid; riots; crime; the London Olympics, and so much more. Johnson writes about his role in Brexit and the constitutional sea-change in British politics in 2019 with his landslide election victory. Underlying everything in the book is Johnson's belief that the UK is an extraordinary country and should have an exceptional future. Unleashed stands out as a rare glimpse into the inner workings of leadership at the highest levels of power.

Essay from the year 2021 in the subject Economics - Other, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: As of 1 February 2020, the United Kingdom is no longer a member of the European Union (EU). In addition, the agreed transition phase ended on 31 December 2020. With the agreement on the trade and cooperation treaty of 24 December 2020, the European Union and the United Kingdom have established a new basis for economic relations. Overall, the Brexit negotiations between the UK and the EU were difficult, long-lasting and extremely intensive. In the end, however, both parties succeeded in reshaping the future relationship on both the political and the economic level. Nevertheless, it must be stated that Brexit has had a noticeable economic impact on the UK, the EU and Germany - one of the largest economies in the EU. The British automotive industry in particular has been hit hard by Brexit and is facing an uncertain future. Since 2017, the UK has seen a sharp decline in car registrations. By 2020, the UK vehicle market had lost more than 1 million units (-39.4%), with market share falling to 14.1%. German car manufacturers, on the other hand, are the undisputed leaders within the EU with 2.92 million new registrations (25.2% share). The German automotive industry has coped much better with the effects of Brexit than the British carmakers - due to its international dominance.

Master's Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 2,0, University of Innsbruck (Banken und Finanzen), language: English, abstract: The unexpected result of the Brexit referendum to withdraw from the EU resulted in high levels of political uncertainty, which affected financial markets adversely. To assess whether the Brexit caused disruptions a structural break test was conducted for stock and forex markets. The results suggest that only British stock markets experienced significant disruptions, which was although only minor relative to other adverse events in the last decade. On forex markets five exchange rate pairs were investigated. All conversion rate pairs, except the EUR-USD pair, showed significant responses. However, again in comparison to other events, the severity of the structural break was relatively petite. In the aftermath of the Brexit, British stock markets developed positive and outperformed many global stock markets, implying a positive reaction to Brexit. In order to rectify for actual developments, it was corrected for exchange rate effects in order to gauge the de facto gains/losses of British and European stock markets. Therefore, the difference-in-differences approach was applied, which indicated that losses for the FTSE 250 ranged between 12-16% and FTSE 100 losses lied between 6-9%. The EuroStoxx 600 evinced a similar range of losses of 5-8%. Based on the increase of country specific risk it is obvious that international diversified firms should have been less exposed. Hence, foreign involvement is hypothesised to diminish a firm's stock price reaction related to the Brexit. By virtue of an event study the impact of geographic business diversification was assessed on British and European (abnormal) stock returns on the index and the industry level. The results portend to a positive relationship of foreign involvement and stock returns, which implies that multinational presence of firms mitigated adverse stock reactions related to political shocks. On European index level the findings indicate a reversed relationship of stock returns and multinationality of firms.

Document from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,0, Northumbria University, language: English, abstract: The automotive industry is changing. Home-markets of world-known automakers become saturated. Many companies seek new opportunities and chances in new markets. The major future challenges for JLR are from economic nature. Economic growth in Europe is stagnating which leads to moderately increasing sales. Additionally, there is pressure to adhere to environmental standards which complicates competition further. Although Europe is a mature market with comprehensive intellectual property rights, and low corruption, without satisfying growth, JLR needs to seek new markets. In general, there are 3 types of motives for companies to engage in foreign direct investments (FDI), market-seeking motives, resource- or asset-seeking motives and efficiency-seeking motives.

This book addresses the challenges presented to the EU by an increasingly complex security environment. Through the interdisciplinary approach taken, researchers in economics, law and political science identify a range of problems relating to the multiple security threats that the EU faces, and present new means to address them within their respective fields of expertise. The contributions provide accessible and policy-relevant analyses of crucial challenges to the EU's ability to function as a political union in the years ahead.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 2,0, Ruhr-University of Bochum (Wirschaftwissenschaft), language: English, abstract: The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to answer the question whether Brexit has negatively or positively affected the financial markets and why. The first two chapters will present the foundations for this thesis, namely more selective information about Brexit, how and why the vote was made, and also about the financial markets and their importance. Since the UK’s official exit from the EU will take place on March 29th, 2019, it is still unclear what the consequences of Brexit will be. Therefore, the main part will focus on the period before and after the referendum, tracking when Brexit's influence began and how it had evolved over the years. In addition, a brief forecast will be given as to how the UK’s withdrawal might eventually affect financial markets. The three financial markets that will be a subject in this thesis are: the foreign exchange market, the stock market and the government bond market. This bachelor’s thesis will be mainly focusing on the markets inside the UK, as the effects there are expected to be the most significant. Due to its ambiguity and topicality, Brexit is the subject of many studies and analysis. This work will be based mainly on two studies: "Kiel Institute for the World Economy"'s study by Raddant, and "Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung"'s study by Caporale et al. Through descriptive literature research and analysis of scientific literature, newspaper articles and government reports, will be examined how and why Brexit has influenced the markets in one way or another. The argumentation will be supported by daily observations of the GBP/USD, GBP/EUR, FTSE 100, UK EPU and 10-Y UK Gilts in the period between January 2016 and June 2018, as well as by self-created graphics based on these observations.
