Przedmiotem badania są konsekwencje Brexitu postrzegane z perspektywy Unii Europejskiej, Wielkiej Brytanii i Polski. Opracowanie ma charakter interdyscyplinarnego studium z zakresu ekonomicznej analizy prawa. W konkluzji stwierdzamy, że bilans dla UE jest ujemny. Wyjście Wielkiej Brytanii z UE zmienia wewnętrzną i zewnętrzną percepcję i atrakcyjność integracji, która nie będzie już postrzegana jako droga bez powrotu, co może skutkować kolejnymi wystąpieniami. Osłabia tożsamość europejską. Również ujemne będzie saldo dla Wielkiej Brytanii. Gospodarczych kosztów wyjścia z UE nie rekompensują ani oszczędności na wpłatach do budżetu UE, ani wątpliwe korzyści z wolnych od gorsetu prawa europejskiego stosunków gospodarczych z państwami trzecimi. Dla Polski Brexit jest wyłącznie niekorzystny. Polska potrzebuje silnej Unii Europejskiej, wspierającej jej podstawowe interesy, w realizacji których Wielka Brytania jest strategicznym partnerem. Wystąpienie Wielkiej Brytanii z UE oznacza także mniejsze wpłaty do budżetu UE, a co za tym idzie – spadek korzyści finansowych dla Polski.

The subject of the research is consequences of Brexit perceived from the perspective of the European Union, the United Kingdom and Poland. The research is an interdisciplinary law and economics study. The results show that the balance for the EU is negative. Brexit changes the internal and external perception and attractiveness of integration, which will no longer be perceived as a road with no return, which may result in subsequent withdrawals. It weakens the European identity. It closes the era of bargaining and concessions to the UK. The balance for the United Kingdom will also be negative. The economic costs of leaving the EU can neither be compensated by savings on EU budget payments nor by the dubious benefits stemming from the economic relations with third countries free of the European regulatory restrictions. At the same time, Brexit ends the era of controversy around EU membership and therefore forces the formulation of internal programmes and the implementation of a policy based on realities, not on nostalgia. For Poland, Brexit is also unfavourable. Poland needs a strong European Union to support its basic interests in which the UK is a strategic partner. UK’s withdrawal means also lower EU budget and therefore decrease of financial benefits for Poland.
