“…In other words, how might enlargement influence ongoing conflicts at the EU level over the extent to which ‘market‐making’ principles can override ‘market‐correcting’ ones? Recent studies of the European Council, Commission and the Parliament in the enlarged EU suggest that the inclusion of ten new Member States has had a minimal impact on EU decision‐making processes and outcomes (see Best et al ., 2010). Fewer studies focus on the Court.…”

Concerns that eastward enlargement will spur a race to the bottom in wages and social protection figured prominently in two cases before the ECJ: Laval and Viking. Each case considered whether industrial action to uphold collective bargaining agreements violate single market laws. Government observations divided between old and new Member States, with the former supporting the unions' position and the latter the employers'. With the ECJ ultimately ruling with the employers and against the expressed preferences of most old Member States and unions, the rulings furthered the cause of liberalization in the enlarged EU, but also mobilized political opposition.

“…On the other hand, changes in work structures, with more precarious contracts of work, and an increasing unemployment rate, in particular for women and older workers with low or obsolete skills, were also creating further pressure for reforms in the light of the new social risks (Hemerijck 2013). In addition, the challenges posed by the 2004 enlargement increased the need to develop policies for growth, employment and competitiveness that could also avoid socioeconomic disruption (Best et al 2008).…”

“…As the EU did in not too dissimilar circumstances in the past-for instance, preparing to its 'mega' enlargement to Central and Eastern Europe (cf. Best, Christiansen, & Settembri, 2008)-the Union and its institutions proved capable of foreseeing changes in their environment. 'Anticipatory adaptation' could be observed, for instance, in revising the order of the country taking up the rotating Presidency of the Council of the EU, which should have been assigned to the UK in the second half of 2017.…”

With the signing of the EU–UK trade and cooperation agreement in December 2020, the configurations of Brexit have started to become clearer. The first consequences of the UK’s decision to leave the EU have become visible, both in the UK and in the EU. This thematic issue focuses on a relatively under-researched aspect of Brexit—what the UK withdrawal has meant and means for the EU. Using new empirical data and covering most (if not all) of the post-2016 referendum period, it provides a first overall assessment of the impact of Brexit on the main EU institutions, institutional rules and actors. The articles in the issue reveal that EU institutions and actors changed patterns of behaviour and norms well before the formal exit of the UK in January 2020. They have adopted ‘counter-measures’ to cope with the challenges of the UK withdrawal—be it new organizational practices in the Parliament, different network dynamics in the Council of the EU or the strengthening of the Franco-German partnership. In this sense, the Union has—so far—shown significant resilience in the wake of Brexit.
