Event details

In the run-up to the referendum on Britain’s membership of the European Union (EU) this roundtable will discuss the very topical issue of the relationship between the Britain and the EU.

A panel of expert speakers will examine the Government’s attempt to re-negotiate the terms of Britain’s EU membership, the alternatives for the UK to ‘full’ EU membership, and the implications of a potential British exit (‘Brexit’) from the EU for the UK and the rest of the EU.

The event will focus on selected policy areas: trade, finance, investment and labour market, which are key for the British economy. What are the costs and benefits of EU membership for the UK? What are the alternatives? Should the UK leave the EU?

This interactive event will provide opportunities to question the panel of speakers, who are academic experts on EU and British politics from the University of York and other North of England universities.
