2016年6月23日,英国选民选择脱离欧盟,这在多个方面引发了政治地震。各方都对投票结果感到非常惊讶或震惊。许多人有一种在不同的国家醒来的感觉,一个已经“完全改变”的国家(GormleyHeenan和Aughey,2017)。英国退欧的选择还引发了一系列其他戏剧性事件。公投作为一个事件触发了英国退欧进程。在全民投票后的头几个月里,这一进程已经被联合王国其他令人惊讶的政治时刻和事件所打断,从大卫卡梅隆辞去首相一职,到随后首相候选人之间的竞争性内斗,以及特里萨·梅毫无争议地成为卡梅隆的接班人。它还延伸到北方爱尔兰权力分享的崩溃和新芬党的强势提前选举,呼吁苏格兰独立的第二次公投(第一次是在2014年举行的),以及梅从坚决不削减和竞选的决心转变为她在4月18日宣布2017年6月8日举行大选。梅认为这一决定是必要的,以赋予她谈判英国退欧的强大授权。英国脱欧给社会和政治科学家提出了新的、艰巨的分析任务。本特刊收集了有助于完成这些新任务的文章,涉及一系列国内,比较和国际层面。我们专注于三个广泛的领域:导致公投的道路;解释和解释英国脱欧的投票;评估其后果。
The choice made by voters in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2016 to leave the European Union (EU) caused a political earthquake in more ways than one. A profound sense of surprise or shock at the outcome of the vote was evident on all sides. Many had the sense of having woken up in a different country, one that had ‘changed utterly’ (GormleyHeenan and Aughey, 2017). The choice for Brexit also set off a series of other dramatic events. The referendum as an event triggered the Brexit process—or processes. During the first few months after the referendum, that process had already been punctuated by other surprising political moments and episodes in the United Kingdom, from the resignation of David Cameron as Prime Minister, by way of subsequent rivalrous infighting among Prime Ministerial pretenders and Theresa May’s emergence unchallenged as Cameron’s heir apparent. It also extended to the collapse of power-sharing in Northern Ireland and a strong snap election showing for Sinn Fein, to calls for a second referendum on Scottish independence (the first was held in 2014), and to May’s switch from resolute determination not to cut and run electorally to her announcement on 18 April of a snap General Election for 8 June 2017. May justified this decision as necessary to give her a strong mandate to negotiate Brexit. Brexit presents new, daunting analytical tasks to social and political scientists. This Special Issue collects articles that contribute to completing these new tasks, across a range of domestic, comparative and international dimensions. We focus on three broad areas: the path that led to the referendum; explaining and interpreting the vote for Brexit; and assessing its consequences.
