TPI member Professor Jagjit Chadha is a keynote speaker at this Birmingham Business School conference which discusses the simultaneous challenges of Brexit and Covid-19. Either would stretch any nation’s economy to the limit, and Covid has arguably hit the UK’s economy harder than its EU neighbours’. The uncertainties surrounding these twin challenges and the basic nature of any initial deal with the UK’s most important trade partner will weigh on the country’s economy in the months and years ahead.
This conference will bring together researchers from different research communities for an interdisciplinary stocktaking of the state of the art of research on the consequences of Brexit – and on the implications of the British withdrawal from the EU and the devastating consequences on European integration.
