BREXIT IMPLOSION: WILL UK SURVIVE THE UNITY OF KINGDOM?

Abstract

The UK decided to leave European Union. In fact, it had triggered the Article 50 in 2017, which acts as the exit button for any EU member if it wants to leave the Union. So far, it has been an unprecedented move by the UK as no country has ever left the EU. The study is focused on the phenomenon of Brexit and the aftershocks it is likely to cause in times to come. The purpose of this research is to analyse the future scenario that could take shape in the aftermath of the British referendum of 2016, both for the EU and the likely future of the UK itself. Brexit is an ongoing phenomenon. I shall use an empirical method while using the data collected from the various sources such as newspapers, the magazines, journals and the research articles. Besides, the online sources including the government sources will also be used. The method of this research is qualitative. Although I have written this research in the light of the reference used and the nature of this work is predictive. With the lens of realist perspective, this article concludes that the future of the EU is bleak if Brexit happens, even bleaker for the UK itself regarding the integration of the country.
