The European Union in Crisis - The Impact of Brexit on European Integration

  • Nowadays, globalisation is being increasingly resisted. Nationalist tendencies, yearnings for greater heterogeneity and the pursuit of contradictory trends are growing. Culturally diverse states strive to coexist by defending and promoting their distinct interests, jeopardising international cohesion. In such unpredictable times, supranational organisations such as the European Union are indispensable sources of international stability. Due to the growing complexity of international relations, managing cross-border cooperation has become increasingly difficult. Even the greatest supporter of the European project has to admit that the European Union is at risk. Over the past decade, the European Union has been facing a series of crises. Especially the Eurozone crisis and the migration crisis have reinforced an anti- European sentiment and fuelled Eurosceptic and populist movements across the European continent. These difficulties culminated in the British referendum on leaving the European Union in June 2016, whose result constitutes a major threat to the future of the European Union. Will other Member States follow? Will the European Union disintegrate? What are the consequences of Brexit for the European project as a whole? The purpose of this thesis is to identify the impact of Brexit on European integration. More precisely, this thesis focuses particularly on the effects of Brexit on the European Union’s budget, the single market, the customs union, the Northern Ireland backstop, as well as the issue of immigration. Furthermore, it takes a closer look by analysing the impact of Brexit on German businesses. This study shows that the impact of Brexit should not be underestimated. Yet, the ultimate scope of the consequences depends on both the terms of the withdrawal agreement and the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union. This thesis contributes to the growing body of European studies and provides an overview of current developments within and future prospects for the European Union. In addition, the findings also serve as a basisto understand the challenges of European integration.
