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 week’s panel will assess the immediate and long-term significance of Brexit and what the departure might mean for the future of Europe.

The event is organized by our partner university, the Balsillie School of International Affairs in Ontario, Canada. International experts from the University of  Warwick, the Wilfried Laurier University, the American University, The Balsillie School of International Affairs as well as Prof. Dirk Leuffen from the University of Konstanz are going to participate in the discussion.
