Learning outcomes
Through the activities of the laboratory, students acquire new competences and develop innovative skills in oral and written presentation
Course contents
The workshop will consist in the analysis of the exit process of Great Britain from the European Union, which began with the referendum of 23 June 2016. In particular, 'Brexit' is analyzed both as an event (the 2016 referendum) and as a deep-rooted process, whose dynamics are unfolding as the workshop is held, in the wake of the exit from the EU, at the end of January 2020. The long-term contextualization of Brexit starts from the belated adhesion of the country to the EEC, to show the depth of the roots of British Euroscepticism.
Attending students elaborate and expose short texts in which they are also asked to reconstruct and expose the positions of parties and leaders during the most important debates in this long-term perspective (including the ratification of the Maastricht in 1992, the 2016 referendum, the implications of the transition period and of the eventual exit on the UK's political system).
