Frances Trevena and Stewart MacLachlan of the Coram Children's Legal Centre outline some of the changes that migrant children may face after the referendum vote for the UK to leave the European Union

Brexit has far-reaching consequences for Europe and the European single market for financial transactions. In particular in this field, the UK has had a strong influence in drafting European policies and legislation as the City of London has acted as the financial hub in Europe for several decades. As a result, the UK has spearheaded the call for more market friendly legislation with the support of some other EU member states. This went against the wishes of several other EU member states, where a stronger rule-based approach to financial markets was strongly preferred, in particular after the financial crisis clearly demonstrated weaknesses in the macroeconomic oversight of European financial markets. With the UK leaving, the call for more stringent legislation will gain momentum as the political leadership among the remaining 27 EU member states will shift and might be looking to curtail the long-standing dominant position of the UK in the field of financial industries. In this light, several leaders of EU27 member states have already voiced their support for their nations' financial hub to become the next City of London. This would lead to a substantial change in leadership in European finance post-Brexit. This contribution assesses the impact of Brexit on the changes in political leadership on the governance of European financial markets, as they might ultimately be reflected in the institutional outcomes and policies.

AbstractIn the 1975 referendum England provided the strongest support for European integration, with a much smaller margin for membership in Scotland and Northern Ireland. By 2015 the rank order of 'national' attitudes to European integration had reversed. Now, England is the UK's most eurosceptic nation and may vote 'Leave', while Scotland seems set to generate a clear margin for 'Remain'. The UK as a whole is a Brexit marginal. To understand the campaign, we need to make sense of the dynamics of public attitudes in each nation. We take an 'archaeological' approach to a limited evidence‐base, to trace the development of attitudes to Europe in England since 1975. We find evidence of a link between English nationalism and euroscepticism. Whatever the result in 2016, contrasting outcomes in England and Scotland will exacerbate tensions in the UK's territorial constitution and could lead to the break‐up of Britain.

Brexit is not only a historical chapter of the British - EU relationship, but it also carries immense challenges for fi nancial market stability in the short and medium run for the 28 member states of the European Union. The scale of these challenges depends heavily on the outcome of EU-UK negotiations. The European Systemic Risk Board plays a critical role in macroprudential supervision, a crucial policy challenge for the EU. However, there are doubts as to whether it will fulfill its mandate. The EU27 faces major problems in terms of prudential supervision after Brexit since a very large part of their wholesale banking markets are in the UK and thus will not be regulated by the EU after 29 March 2019. Indications point to a considerable risk of a new transatlantic banking crisis in the future.

Eine recht schonungs- und illusionslose Bestandsaufnahme und Beschreibung der politischen und gesellschaftlichen Situation in Nordirland rund 20 Jahre nach dem "Karfreitagsabkommen". Rezension: Dass Nordirland eher in Verbindung mit Reisebüchern und Krimis auftaucht, vermittelt ein trügerisches Bild von Beschaulichkeit und Ruhe. Wie fragil der mit dem "Karfreitagsabkommen" von 1998 beschlossene Frieden ist, wurde an der Oberfläche deutlich, als während der BREXIT-Verhandlungen und aktuell anlässlich des Streits um den Covid-19-Impfstoff-Im- und Export die einzige Landesgrenze zwischen der EU und dem UK für Wirbel sorgte. Die Autorin, die auch für den "Independent" schreibt, kommt aus einer nordirisch-englischen Familie und interessiert sich auch für den BREXIT, aber in diesem 2017 entstandenen Buch vielmehr für die Gesellschaft Nordirlands 19 Jahre nach dem "Good Friday Agreement": Vorgeschichte des Abkommens, die immer noch gespaltene Gesellschaft, paramilitärische Organisationen und Gewalt, Transgenerationentraumata, Konflikte und Kontroversen um LGBTQIA+ und das hakelige Power Sharing zwischen Unionisten und Sinn Féin. Ohne Apparat. - Titel zum Thema sind eher älter: M. Quoirim (2011), O. Frank (2005). Trotz des Umfangs gut lesbar. Ergänzend. (2-3)

The Brexit referendum will remain as a milestone in contemporary European history. The British exit from the EU is not going only to shape future relations between the EU and the UK, but it will shape the relation between Brussels and other member states as well. This study aims to investigate the main claims for the leave campaigns which affected the general opinion to vote for the exit. The two main points investigated in this paper are: first, the historical background regarding the UK and the EU, the reasons for the first refusal to the European integration projects during the 1950, and the changes in the British situation which pushed the UK to seek the membership for a decade before being able to join the EEC in the 1970s; and second, national identity, which affected Britain's late entry to the EU, and shaped relations between London and Brussels during the British membership. The paper concludes that, unfortunately, British citizens in general were not aware of the full facts regarding the above two points.

This paper applies long-memory techniques (both parametric and semi-parametric) to examine whether Brexit has led to any significant changes in the degree of persistence of the FTSE (Financial Times Stock Index) 100 Implied Volatility Index (IVI) and of the British pound's implied volatilities (IVs) vis-à-vis the main currencies traded in the FOREX (foreign exchange market), namely the euro, the US dollar and the Japanese yen. We split the sample to compare the stochastic properties of the series under investigation before and after the Brexit referendum, and find an increase in the degree of persistence in all cases except for the British pound-yen IV, whose persistence has declined after Brexit. These findings highlight the importance of completing swiftly the negotiations with the European Union (EU) to achieve an appropriate Brexit deal.
