On Diverging Paths? The future of the EU and the United Kingdom after Brexit
Joint event by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, Jelen and Political Capital
Date: 10:00-11:00am, 21st April, 2021
Location: online
Language: English (with Hungarian interpretation)
The United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union not only lead to a political crisis and to the weakening of the EU’s normative power, but it will also have long-term foreign and security policy implications.
- What foreign policy priorities and challenges will the EU and the UK face in the post-Brexit era?
- How will supply chain threats evolve in the future? Is there room for cooperation between the EU and the UK to address these threats?
- How will bilateral relations evolve between the UK and the EU after Brexit?
- Where can we expect cooperation and where will we see conflicting interests?
We will discuss these questions with our panellists and guests.
