Student-led Podcast Launched

NEXTEUK have launched a podcast series "Pandemic Politics: A Student view of the EU in the time of Corona". 

The series brings together Queen Mary, University of London students from around Europe to discuss the various responses to the current crisis by the EU and its member states. 

The first episode focuses on quarantine and lockdown policies, with the two guests - Eleanora from Italy and Natascha from Switzerland - giving an insight into what their respective governments have done to combat the virus. You can listen to episode one on Spotify and the NEXTEUK website.
New Publications

NEXTEUK has published its first policy brief and working papers.

The policy brief Negotiating Brexit: What Implications for the EU and Future EU-UK Relations? by Antonio Astolfi analyses the various challenges to EU-UK relations caused by the ongoing Brexit negotiations. The brief examines some pertinent issues including: the impact of Brexit on Franco-German relations, the unique position of Ireland in relation to the UK's withdrawal, and the changing Brexit strategy of the Netherlands. 

The first issue of the Working Paper Series entitled Brexit: The scapegoating of the EU for the failures of British Neoliberalism? was written by Humaira Mahmud. The paper assesses some of the principal causes of Britain's vote to Leave the European Union. Through a thorough analysis of the UK's economy since the adoption of neoliberalism in the late 1970s, Mahmud argues that neoliberal globalisation has caused the growing inequality present in the UK today, and the EU has been used as a scapegoat for this situation.
