Brexit: The Global Economic Effect
Bill Stonehem
First Rank Publishing, Tir 24, 1395 AP - 40 pages
Brexit also called British Exit, refers to the withdrawal of Britain from the European Union. This has long been a political accomplishment that has been pursued by many individuals, political parties and advocacy groups. This has been the idea of these persons since the United Kingdom joined the EU in 1973. The withdrawal of member countries has been a right of the EU’s membership since 2007 fully addressed under Article 50 of the Treaty on the European Union. In June 2016, Britain held a referendum on the matter and the result saw 59.1% voting to exit the EU while 48.1% to remain.
HLP 122 - The Eu Referendum and EU Reform
Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee
The Stationery Office, Farvardin 11, 1395 AP - 82 pages
On 23 June 2016 the people of the United Kingdom will decide whether the country should remain in or leave the European Union. This referendum will be, in the words of the Prime Minister, a "huge decision for our country, perhaps the biggest we will make in our lifetimes". The Government's confirmation that an in/out referendum would be held in June followed intense negotiations with the other 27 Member States and the EU institutions. These culminated in the European Council's agreement, on 19 February 2016, to a "new settlement for the United Kingdom within the European Union". The Government was clear throughout the negotiations that its support for continuing EU membership would depend upon reaching a successful outcome. Yet the referendum question makes no reference to either the negotiations or the "new settlement". In this report we explore the linkage between the negotiations, the "new settlement", and the more fundamental, once-in-a-generation decision that awaits the electorate on 23 June. We trace the origins of the Government's negotiating objectives, and consider the degree to which they reflect a consensus within and across the United Kingdom on the advantages and drawbacks of EU membership
The Turkish AK Party and Its Leader: Criticism, Opposition and Dissent
Umit Cizre
Routledge, Ordibehesht 31, 1395 AP - Political Science - 242 pages
After
landslide electoral victories, two referenda and a presidential
election, thirteen years of AK Party rule have shattered many myths
regarding Turkey’s politics and the nature of the party itself.
This
book argues that the last thirteen years are best understood via the AK
party’s interaction with the social-political realm. It focuses on
criticism, dissent and opposition from prominent organized groups in
Turkish society, which themselves represent significantly different
traditions, ideologies and interests. Bringing together specialists from
across the field, its chapters explore key societal actors to reveal
the dynamics behind the last decade of AK Party rule. Overall, the book
throws light on the extent to which the government’s characters,
trajectories, policies and leadership style have been interactively
shaped by opposition and dissent.
Exploring
the historically unprecedented and politically controversial rule of
the AK Party, as well as the relationship between modern societal groups
and a government driven by a conservative Islamic tradition, this book
is a valuable resource for students and scholars of Turkish studies, as
well as politics more generally.
