In writing this book I have reproduced certain passages from ‘Why the EU Won’ in Integrating Regions: Asia in Comparative Context, edited by Miles Kahler and Andrew MacIntyre, 142–69 (Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2013); ‘The Davos Lie’, Critical Quarterly 58, no. 1 (2016): 114–18; ‘1916’, Critical Quarterly 58, no. 2 (2016): 118–22; ‘Brentry’, Critical Quarterly 58, no. 3 (2016): 118–122; ‘2016’, Critical Quarterly 58, no. 4 (2017): 150–55; ‘Independent Ireland in Comparative Perspective’, Irish Economic and Social History 44, no. 1 (2017): 19–45; ‘Not So Very Different’, Dublin Review of Books, January 2017, available at http://www.drb.ie/essays/not-so-verydifferent; and ‘Brexit: This Backlash Has Been a Long Time Coming’, Vox.EU (7 August 2016), available at https://voxeu.org/article/brexit-backlash-has-been-long-time-coming. I am very grateful to Miles Kahler, the editors of Critical Quarterly, Irish Economic and Social History and the Dublin Review of Books (Colin MacCabe, Graham Brownlow and Maurice Earls), Stanford University Press, John Wiley and Sons and SAGE Journals, for permission to draw upon my previous work in this manner.
In the later chapters I have wherever possible provided references to sources that are freely available online, so that the interested reader can if he or she wishes learn more about the EU, Brexit and the Brexit negotiations. To make this easier I have reproduced the endnotes online on the Irish Economy blog, where most of what I have previously written about Brexit first appeared.fn1
