The UK' s decision to leave the EU has opened up huge existential questions for Northern Ireland as it marks 100 years since Partition. Peace had been regarded as resolved and settled, but Brexit has altered the wider constitutional framework within which the 1998 Good Friday Agreement is situated. With the question of Irish unity gaining renewed and sustained traction, and as the reality of post-Brexit trade between Northern Ireland and the Republic is far from frictionless and tariff-free, Northern Ireland approaches a "constitutional moment". Murphy and Evershed examine the factors and dynamics that are most likely to be influential and potentially transformative in determining Northern Ireland' s constitutional future. This book offers a cautionary warning about how Brexit and its fallout may lead to contested constitutional upheaval on the island of Ireland.
Murphy and Evershed capture the ' carnival of reaction' that has followed the 2016 Brexit referendum, which itself forced discussion of identity, borders and the constitution into Northern Ireland' s everyday discourse. At a time when politics has seemed simultaneously to be stuck and moving at speed, this book helpfully takes stock of the dynamics at play, where this conversation might go next and how political forces in Northern Ireland react and respond to one another. -- Claire Hanna MP
