AVRUPA BİRLİĞİ’NDEN ÇIKMA HAKKI VE AVRUPA KİMLİĞİ ARASINDA BİR BAĞLANTI VAR MIDIR? BREXIT ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

One of the main regulations made in the Treaty of Lisbon is Article 50, which brought the right of withdrawal from the European Union (EU) to the member states. In the referendum that was held in the UK in 2016, the UK citizens voted to leave the Union and the UK became the first country that preferred to withdraw from the EU. The construction of European identity in the EU has been one of the most significant issues related to legal regulations at the EU level. This article will examine the concept of identity in the EU, the role of the legal regulations in the EU in the construction of European identity, and the relationship between the right of withdrawal and identity in the EU by analyzing the Brexit case.
