                                                        from economics, law, and political science to provide a
                                                        comprehensive analysis of how shifts in the international order

                                                        recommendations which make the book particularly useful for
                                                        decision makers and policy advisors, besides researchers and

                                                       can have a stronger influence than class. The book uses Brexit
                                                       – the British referendum in which a majority voted for the UK
                                                       leaving the European Union – as the leading example of a
                                                       conflict between national voters and the EU. However, taking
                                                       back control of policymaking does not ensure effective
                                                       policymaking when success depends not only on what the

                                                       prompted by the actions of some member state governments
