The Faculty of Administrative Sciences and Economics/International Relations and Diplomacy has organized a workshop on Brexit: The United Kingdom Divided, to be held on January 7th, 2021.
On June 23rd, 2016, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland held a referendum on its EU membership, commonly referred to as “the Brexit referendum”.  The result of the referendum split the country almost in half with a win for the Brexit campaign of 51.8% of the vote, a mere 4% majority.  It was soon discovered that nobody had really expected this outcome and that there was no plan for it.  Subsequently, much detailed analysis took place.
This will provide a high-level overview of the results of this analysis to reveal how Brexit divided a country along national, political, and generational lines, amongst others.  Join us, on January the 7th to see just how Brexit divided the country known as “The United Kingdom”.
