ABSTRACT: In the past few years, the world has witnessed an unprecedented popular backlash against international institutions. This paper presents a framework for analyzing the challenges that unilateral, voter-endorsed attempts by one member state to withdraw from existing international institutions pose for international cooperation. It argues that the remaining member states are faced with an 鈥渁ccommodation dilemma鈥�: not accommodating such unilateral attempts is costly, yet accommodating the revisionist country鈥檚 disintegration bid carries large contagion risks. The paper studies dynamics in detail by focusing on Brexit and leveraging original survey data from approximately 1.800 British and 60.000 EU-27 Europeans. It also highlights the generalizability of the argument with comparative case studies of four voter-endorsed withdrawal episodes. The paper shows that this framework can help us better understand the ability of foreign governments鈥� to intervene in domestic disintegration referendum campaigns, the existence of contagion effects across member states and variation in the responses of the remaining member states to voter-endorsed disintegration bids.
