The Conundrum of Sovereignty and Integration: Examining the Implications of Brexit on International Trade Relations

Abstract

    The present study explores the conundrum of sovereignty and integration in the aftermath of the Brexit vote and its implications for international trade relations. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the study begins by situating the concept of sovereignty within its historical and philosophical roots. The evolution of integration in Europe and the relationship between sovereignty and integration are also explored. The study then delves into the intricacies of the Brexit process, analyzing its impact on national sovereignty and the European Union. Subsequently, the focus shifts to the impact of Brexit on international trade relations, specifically the relationship between sovereignty and integration in this realm. The implications of Brexit for the United Kingdom and the European Union’s international trade relations are also analyzed, followed by an examination of the impact on global trade relations. The study concludes with a summary of findings, implications for policy and practice, and limitations and future research directions.
