This dual event was hosted by LSE IDEAS. The morning session (10:30–12:00) featured “From Globalisation to Geo-politics: The Changing Dynamics of World Order and their Implications for the EU”. In the afternoon (14:00–15:30), we continued with “Brexit – A Critical Audit in the Cold Light of Day”
Two defining features of contemporary UK-EU relations, the rise of geopolitics and BREXIT, have profoundly reshaped these longstanding ties.
From the onset of the US-China trade war and Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine to Trump’s tariffs wars against allies, the fragmentation of the liberal international order is undermining the foundations of international cooperation and peace.
Beyond the disruptive effect on their economies and policy coordination, BREXIT left both the UK and the EU bereft of a shared global strategy in a world increasingly shaped by great power competition.
These talks by eminent scholars, provide new data analysis and insights on the enduring impact these feature continue to have as London and Brussels renegotiate the terms of a new relationship in our perilous times.
