Exodus, Reckoning, Sacrifice: Three Meanings of Brexit

14 March 2019

As the UK’s scheduled departure from the EU looms, there is still a lot of uncertainty about whether the deed will happen. The Centre for International Security Studies presents Professor Kalypso Nicolaidis from Oxford University in a public lecture about three meanings of Brexit - exodus, reckoning and sacrifice.  The talk will cover themes such as how archetypal myths can help us renew democratic conversations, whether British exceptionalism is actually exceptional, the meaning of a promise, and the price of hubris. Will the UK get lost in transition? What will be the role of the UK as a former member state of the EU? And what will Brexit mean for the UK’s relations with Commonwealth countries?
