Bridging the Channel

The UK’s Post-Brexit Return to Europe

Six years after Brexit, the question is no longer whether Britain and the EU will cooperate. It is what kind of partnership should replace the one that was lost. Produced in collaboration with the British Institute of Global Affairs, this edition examines that question across eight fronts — sanctions coordination, Balkan enlargement, undersea security, criminal justice, education policy, critical minerals, and digital governance.
