Welcome to "Brexit: Causes, Conduct, Consequences" an international workshop at the Georg-August-University Göttingen on 10/11 September 2019
Brexit has been dominating British politics for more than three years now. As the UK is undergoing perhaps the last extension of the Article 50 procedure, this workshop aims to take a step back and take a broader view on the process in order to bring together the various perspectives on the phenomenon.
In looking at the causes, conduct and consequences of Brexit, we want to bring together specialists for each of these areas with two goals: to on the one hand obtain a comprehensive picture of the process by which the UK first decided to leave the UK and then tried to implement that decision; on the other hand we hope for the different perspectives to provide a potential for cross-fertilization.
Panels at the workshop will focus on the referendum, the party system, Brexit negotiations, the EU27 and the wider problems of the UK's political system. Our goal is to stimulate cooperation between scholars and experts from different backgrounds.
