FEATURED PANEL: Brexit Debate - EPS Symposium

Abstract

On June 23 2016, 52% of the British electorate voted in favour of leaving the EU. By the spring of 2017, Prime Minister Theresa May invoked Article 50 of the Treaty of the European Union, which started the formal procedure for withdrawal. What kind of Brexit will we have; a hard or a soft Brexit? How will the relations between Great Britain and the EU look like after Britain has left? Who will suffer, who will benefit from Brexit? Will the Brexit be the beginning of the end of the European Union? Among others, these questions will be discussed.
