A Brexit benefit? Exploring devolved government’s involvement in UK trade policy
The United Kingdom’s ability to conduct an independent trade policy post-Brexit fuelled concerns in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland about the potential absence of devolved administrations’ voice in the negotiation of new trade agreements. Based on analysis of our novel database of UK trade agreements, supplemented by elite interviews, this article assesses provisions for, and practices of, devolved involvement in UK trade policy post-Brexit.…
UK trade agreements and the double bind of devolved regulatory autonomy
This paper examines the effect of post-Brexit UK trade agreements on devolved regulatory autonomy. It does so by: (i) carrying out a comprehensive mapping exercise of the overlaps between such agreements and devolved matters; (ii) analysing the domestic legal framework for the implementation of international trade commitments in devolved law; and (iii) identifying the extent to which trade agreements have affected devolved competences and/or caus…
New regulatory scaffolding for the United Kingdom
Membership of the European Union had a cohesive regulatory effect on the United Kingdom. Coinciding with devolution, the obligations of European Union membership served as a regulatory scaffolding within which the United Kingdom Government and the United Kingdom devolved governments could pursue their own legislative and policy paths. European Union membership alongside Ireland also facilitated the 1998 Belfast ‘Good Friday’ Agreement, particular…
Brexit and Strand Three of the 1998 Agreement
Under Strand Three of the 1998 Belfast ‘Good Friday’ Agreement, institutions were set up to promote the ‘harmonious and mutually beneficial development’ of the ‘totality of relationships’ between the peoples and governments of Ireland and the UK, including its devolved administrations and Crown Dependencies. According to the text of the 1998 Agreement this ‘east‐west’ dimension was to have two elements with corresponding institutions: an intergov…
Post-Brexit dynamism
Post-Brexit Northern Ireland faces a dual challenge of legal dynamism and political stagnation. Although these two issues have the same origin, this article focuses on the former. Agreed as part of the UK–EU Withdrawal Agreement to address the ‘unique circumstances’ on the island of Ireland, the provisions of the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland break with precedent in both EU external relations and in UK internal governance. For the EU, thes…

LE19 – a turning of the tide? Report of local elections in Northern Ireland, 2019
Otherwise routine local elections in Northern Ireland on 2 May 2019 were bestowed unusual significance by exceptional circumstance. A prolonged stalemate between the two largest political parties had left Northern Ireland without a devolved government for over two years; meanwhile, arrangements for the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland had been central in the turbulent ‘Brexit’ process engulfing the UK government. Meaning, that the loca…
Breaking Walls & Norms
The 2019 UK general election had huge implications for Brexit, and in turn for Northern Ireland. The British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, was championing a renegotiated UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement that had been strongly opposed by all political parties in Northern Ireland, the part of the UK it would most effect. At the same, the region had been without a devolved government for nearly three years. Both factors led to unprecedented outcomes. The…
Public attitudes to different possible models of a United Ireland
We empirically identify the considered views of the Northern Ireland public on the relative merits of two possible models of a united Ireland: an integrated united Ireland in which Northern Ireland is absorbed into an all-island polity, and a united Ireland in which Northern Ireland continues to exist as a devolved entity. We use data from a specially designed one-day citizens’ assembly. We report analyses based on quantitative examination of pre…
