      abstract = {Finally a book that examines the EU side of the Brexit  story. Based on an original argument and interviews with  policy-makers, Laffan and Telle explain how the EU managed  to be united and successful in the negotiations with the  UK. Frank Schimmelfennig, Professor of European Politics,  ETH Zurich, Switzerland "This entertaining, persuasive and  well-researched account of how the EU approached and  conducted the Brexit negotiations is likely to be the  definitive work on the subject." Bobby McDonagh, Ambassador  of Ireland to the United Kingdom (20092013) Laffan and  Telles book is both a definitive statement on Brexit-EU  relations and a clear-sighted investigation of how the EU  may cope with future tests, ranging from climate change to  Ukraine enlargement. Liesbet Hooghe, Professor of Political  Science, UNC-Chapel Hill , USA This book is the first  detailed analysis of how the EU responded to Brexit. It is  an important reference point for future studies of the  Brexit negotiations. The authors conducted in-depth  interviews with key institutional players in Brussels and  in several member states to document how the EU handled the  first-ever exit of one of its members. The Brexit shock  came at a time when the EU had barely recovered from the  Euro crisis and was struggling to manage an unprecedented  inflow of refugees. The immediate fear was that Brexit  might be the final straw that broke the camel s back.  Eurosceptics were jubilant, and Europhiles were distraught.  In reality, the EU reacted to Brexit with resolve and a  determination to protect the polity. The book argues that  getting the process right was crucial. The EU mobilised its  collective capacity to negotiate effectively and with one  voice. Brigid Laffan is Emeritus Professor at the European  University Institute (EUI) in Florence, Italy.
