Foreign Policy and Brexit Negotiations: Professor Richard G. Whitman

Professor G. Whitman, University of Kent

Organised by AIIA Victoria

EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier has expressed his frustration at the UK’s refusal to discuss future cooperation on foreign policy, development and defence.

Such a position is a direct departure from the political declaration outlining the ambitions for the post-Brexit future relationship, agreed by both the EU and UK government alongside the withdrawal agreement in October 2019.

With its current focus on the terms of the EU-UK trade and market access relationship, the UK government is no longer pursuing agreement with the EU on foreign, security and defence policy. It believes it has better alternatives for pursuing its international objectives.

What explains this shift in position? What are the consequences of failing to reach an agreement on foreign, security and defence policy? And how might the UK pursue partnerships and initiatives beyond the EU?

AIIA Victoria invites you to join Professor Richard Whitman, Director of the Global Europe Centre and Professor of Politics and International Relations at the University of Kent, and Associate Fellow at Chatham House, to discuss the EU-UK foreign policy relationship.

Professor Richard G. Whitman MA PhD FAcSS is Director of the Global Europe Centre and Professor of Politics and International Relations at the University of Kent. He is also an Associate Fellow and former Head of the Europe Programme at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House). His current research interests include Brexit and especially the future foreign and security and defence policies of the UK and the EU. He is the author and editor of eleven books, and over sixty articles and book chapters, on European integration and UK foreign and security policy. He is a lead editor of the Journal of Common Market Studies (JCMS) – the longest established international academic journal covering the politics and economics of European integration. He was elected as an Academician of the UK Academy of Social Sciences in 2007 and was the 2017-2018 elected Chair of the British International Studies Association (BISA). He has also been appointed as an Academic Fellow of the European Policy Centre (EPC).
