After years of speculation, a heated campaign, and a referendum outcome that shocked the world, the formal Brexit process begins March 29th. The UK’s exit from the EU is now a 2-year process of negotiations toward a final resolution. Can it be completed in the time allotted and what happens next?
After years of speculation, a heated campaign, and a referendum outcome that shocked the world, the formal Brexit process begins March 29th. The UK’s exit from the EU is now a 2-year process of negotiations toward a final resolution. Can it be completed in the time allotted and what happens next? Global Fellow, Michelle Egan has been following the story for years and she joins us to sort through the complex implications and activities that begin in earnest following the formal triggering of Article 50. That’s the focus of this edition of Wilson Center NOW.
The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe”—an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
