Inhaltsangabe

Brexit offers a rare opportunity to examine a complicated network of intentions and processes, through the lens of promise theory. In this volume, we examine the arguments and positions surrounding the UK's Brexit process, starting from the beginning. This book argues that promises have played a central role in its unfolding, and that the simple formalities of promise theory are quite helpful in assessing the kinds of claims made, and their likelihood of being realized.
