Negotiating Brexit A Story of Politics versus Economics
22nd February 2017 08:00 to 09:30 Free
Join the official launch of the new SimkissGuy Recruitment Ltd and Aston Business School events partnership for 2017. This is the first in a series of breakfast events for regional professionals to gain insight and discuss the latest business issues with guest experts, network with like-minded people and develop valuable connections.
The first guest speaker is Dr Andrew Glencross, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Politics and International Relations, Aston University. Dr Glencross will be presenting the latest research and thinking on different Brexit scenarios. He will reflect on his new book Why the UK Voted for Brexit: David Cameron’s Great Miscalculation (Palgrave, 2016).
The process of leaving the EU is riddled with trade-offs. Putting politics first could carry a high economic cost, notably by limiting EU immigration or exposing UK companies to European tariffs. But pursuing economic interests above all else risks dissatisfying voters who want a clean break.
This talk sets out what the policy trade-offs look like for different Brexit scenarios and explains whether politics or economics will determine the final outcome. There will also be time for questions to address specific queries in more detail.
