On 23 June 2016, a referendum was held in the United Kingdom (UK) to decide whether the country should leave or remain a member of the European Union (EU). The ‘Leave’ vote won by 52 per cent to 48 per cent of voters, leading to the EU–UK Withdrawal Agreement that came into force in 2020 and the Trade and Cooperation Agreement that came into force in 2021. Brexit is not exclusively a European matter; it affects third parties as well. In this article we examine the presence of Japanese affiliates in Europe during 2000–21 by analysing data obtained from the Toyo Keizai's Overseas Japanese Companies database. While the UK has been a major beneficiary of Japanese investments in Europe, its share of Japanese affiliates in Europe has decreased, especially during 2000–10. Brexit has had no negative impact on direct employment created by Japanese affiliates in the UK in the short term, but its impact in the long term could be exacerbated by any further policy divergence between the UK and the EU.

The Swiss-born liberal thinker Jean-Charles-Léonard Simonde de Sismondi (1773–1842) rejected metaphysical systems of thought in favour of historical and social analysis. However, in his mature writings, he offered an organising, although a never explicit, set of principles guiding his political and economic disquisitions. I identify Sismondi's essential principles of social study, namely, the effect of political organisation on the character of the people, the need for a ‘national reason’, along with the weight of tradition over individual representation. Subordinate principles of liberty are examined, such as respect for minorities, freedom of public debate, and engagement in local affairs. I argue that, when the political idea of a slowly matured national reason guiding the constitutional progress of liberty is applied to a rapidly changing economic domain, tension is created within Sismondi's understanding of social sciences.
瑞士出生的自由主义思想家Jean-Charles-Léonard Simonde de Sismondi（1773–1842）摒弃了形而上学的思想体系，转而支持历史和社会分析。然而，在他成熟的作品中，他提供了一套有组织的原则，尽管从来没有明确过，指导他的政治和经济研究。我认同西斯蒙迪社会研究的基本原则，即政治组织对人民性格的影响，“国家理性”的必要性，以及传统对个人代表性的重视。审查了自由的次要原则，如尊重少数群体、公开辩论自由和参与地方事务。我认为，当一个缓慢成熟的国家理性指导自由的宪法进步的政治理念被应用于一个快速变化的经济领域时，Sismondi对社会科学的理解就会产生紧张。
