Following on the sustained success of the acclaimed European Union
Series, which essentially publishes research-based textbooks, Palgrave
Studies in European Union Politics publishes cutting edge research-driven
monographs. The remit of the series is broadly defined, both in terms of
subject and academic discipline. All topics of significance concerning the
nature and operation of the European Union potentially fall within the
scope of the series. The series is multidisciplinary to reflect the growing
importance of the EU as a political, economic and social phenomenon.

cknowledgements
The following book is the result of two projects, whose funders we
would like to thank. The first project, which was financed by the ‘UK
in a Changing Europe’ initiative of the Economic and Social Research
Council and which began shortly before the UK’s referendum on exiting
the European Union, addressed the potential consequences of Brexit for
the UK and EU’s internal security. The authors were particularly con-
cerned by the fact that internal security had scarcely been discussed in the
debate running up to the referendum in June 2016 and wanted to draw
academics and policy-makers’ attention to this area. This first project
allowed for the development of a second project, funded by the British
Academy, which focused on the development of a future UK-EU secu-
rity relationship, its negotiation and the transition/implementation phase
from membership to third country status. We are therefore sincerely
grateful to both the ‘UK in a Changing Europe’ initiative and to the
British Academy for their invaluable support of the present publication.
Furthermore, the authors would like to thank the academic commu-
nity working on EU and UK justice and home affairs; this book was very
much a collective journey. As part of the projects mentioned above, the
authors were able to organise a number of workshops that aimed to reach
out to the academic and policy communities, and the general public.
The present book is the result of academic discussions among UK- and
non-UK-based experts in internal security, feedback on the fears and con-
cerns of the younger UK-based population, and questions and insights
from policy-makers. In this context, we would like to express our most

The authors would also like to acknowledge the Aston Centre for
Europe for providing the necessary structure and support for the devel-
opment of both projects. Last but not least, we would also like to say a
special thanks to Alex MacKenzie for his dedication to this project and
insightful comments, and to Fraser Logan for the excellent linguistic
revision of the book.
We hope that this book can contribute to the academic discussions
on the future UK-EU relationship, as well as inform the development of
future policy positions.
