The Global Policy Institute (Durham) and the UCL European Institute are collaborating on a special issue of Global Policy on "Brexit – Past, Present and Future."
Context and Programme
The process of the UK withdrawing from the European Union is proving very complex. It also shines a light on the constitutional and political ramifications of a member state separating from a union of this kind – be it for the role of parliaments, devolved administrations, or the courts. The exact nature of the UK’s future outside Union, as well as its relationship with it as a third country, remain subject to detailed discussion and heated speculation as the Brexit negotiations continue. In the light of this momentous political process, the Global Policy Institute (Durham) and the European Institute (UCL), would like to invite a number of internationally recognised authors from political science, history and law to contribute to a Special Issue of “Global Policy” dedicated to a multidisciplinary analysis of the past, present and future of Brexit.
