In light of recent political events, such as the launch of the UK Brexit Party, Theresa May’s resignation as leader of the Conservative Party, and the rise of populist parties in pro-EU nations, Professor Menon’s speech will investigate the relationship between the Britain and the EU, in the midst of a changing Europe.
