摘要：脱欧对英国的领土治理提出了重大挑战。尽管1999年制定了当前的权力下放计划时对领土治理进行了重大改革，并随后对这些计划进行了修改，但英国的领土治理尚未稳定下来。还有一系列未解决的问题。最终，这些问题必须面对，但英国脱欧不仅迫使它们提上议程，而且是在令人担忧的政治环境下这样做的，这使得它们更难解决。英国脱欧凸显了领土治理中已经存在的紧张局势，也给领土治理的机构和流程带来了一系列需要应对的新问题，包括如何在广泛下放权力的背景下实施英国脱欧所要求的变革。因此，本文阐述了英国脱欧给领土治理带来的困难，并探讨了解决这些困难的前景。
ABSTRACT Brexit presents a major challenge to the territorial governance of the UK. Despite a major overhaul of territorial governance in 1999 when the current devolution schemes were created, and subsequent changes to those schemes, the territorial governance of the UK has not been stabilised. There remained a series of unresolved issues. Eventually, these issues would have to have been faced, but Brexit has not only forced them onto the agenda, it has done so in fraught political circumstances which make them harder to resolve. Brexit highlights already existing tensions in territorial governance, it also creates a new set of problems for the institutions and processes of territorial governance to deal with, including how to implement the changes that Brexit requires in the context of extensive devolution of power. This article, therefore, sets out the difficulties Brexit poses for territorial governance and considers the prospects for resolving them.
