Global Insights: Brexit and the Future of Europe

Recorded on March 4, 2021 Now that the United Kingdom has left the European Union is Europe at a crossroad? Is it still a major player on the world stage? Can it be? Was Brexit the beginning of a larger unravelling of the European integration project? Will the EU as a political and economic project survive the cracks in the union that the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed? Can it withstand the rise of right-wing political parties in a number of its member states who seek to follow the UK’s lead and reclaim control of their sovereign affairs. This panel will assess the immediate and long-term significance of Brexit and what the departure might mean for the future of Europe.
