"Brexit: What, Why and How?"

Executive Summary

On June 23, the British people voted to determine whether their country would leave or remain inside the European Union (EU). The turnout was 72 percent, and the result was decided by a narrow margin, with 52 percent of voters choosing to end Britain’s EU membership.

Following the referendum, Senem Aydın-Düzgit examines the Brexit process through three key questions: What happened, why did it happen, and how did it unfold? These questions explore the background of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the EU, the underlying factors behind the outcome, and the potential political implications of this historic decision.
