ECPR at APSA: Europe in a Post-Brexit World

On 23 June 2016, the European Union experienced what may turn out to be the most significant event since its founding: the decision, by referendum, of the UK people to leave the EU.

There was an immediate impact in the short-term on the UK currency and various sectors of the economy. But what is not yet clear is the longer-term impact not just on the UK and the European Union but on Europe as a whole in economic, political and social terms as well as (in keeping with this year’s APSA Annual Meeting theme) the legitimacy of the European project and its mission.

The scale and complexity of the UK’s projected exit from the EU is unprecedented in economic, political and social terms, and it needs extensive research across and within a range of sectors to provide any level of understanding of the process and outcome for Europe.

This panel focuses on the implications of Brexit in political, economic and social terms for Europe broadly understood. The papers address different themes and sectors, assessing the impact that the UK decision is already having and will have in the longer term.
