  1. From: UK in a changing Europe

The Brexit Files: From Referendum to Reset – Review.

Five years on from Brexit, the ‘UK in a Changing Europe’ thinktank offers a well-researched and well-presented overview of Brexit, from the pre-referendum period right through to the present attempt at a reset with the EU. I counted 40 contributors, all of whom are senior academics and/or researchers, and each of whom contributes (singly or jointly) a 2-4 page paper on a particular aspect of Brexit. The document is divided into three parts:

  • The Brexit Process
  • the Brexit Impact and Aftermath
  • The Future.

Despite the high-octane expertise on show, the papers are reasonably accessible. They are also enormously informative.

2. From the European Movement

The Future of UK-EU Foreign, Security, and Defence Cooperation: Challenges and Opportunities

https://assets.nationbuilder.com/euromove/pages/22480/attachments/original/1742385572/The_Future_of_UK-EU_Foreign_Security_and_Defence_Cooperation_190325.pdf?1742385572

This is the work of European Movement personnel. In 16 pages and 5 chapters it overviews the EU’s defence machinery and the UK’s role in Europe’s defence, actual and potential. It explores the need and possibilities of deepening UK co-operation with the EU on defence and security, and offers a set of recommendations to advance this agenda.
