Brexit – Past, Present and Future: Webinars to prepare a special issue of Global Policy

Invitation to audit “Brexit – Past, Present and Future” webinars

The Global Policy Institute at the University of Durham and the European Institute at UCL are preparing a Special Issue of the Journal Global Policy (Wiley) on “Brexit – Past, Present and Future”, due out in 2021.

In the light of the momentous and highly complex process of the UK separating from the European Union, we are bringing together a number of internationally recognised authors from political science, history and law.

In preparation for the publication, contributors will meet in three webinars – on 17 June, 1 July and 15 July 2020 – to analyse the constitutional and political ramifications as well as the prehistory of Brexit from a multidisciplinary perspective.

The webinars are primarily for the authors to discuss and foster the coherence between their contributions to the special issue.

We do however invite MSc/LLM or PhD students from participating universities of the speakers to audit the webinars.

Should you be interested in attending, please RSVP to Louise Haysey (Durham).
