Pressing Reset

A decade ago, the British electorate narrowly voted to leave the EU. It was a decision of generational significance, predicated, in large part, on a picture of splendid isolation that has turned out to be false: it is now clear that Britain is less prosperous than it would otherwise have been. To make matters worse, in the intervening period, the UK has been wracked by both internal and external disruption, from the unabated rise of populism to a global pandemic.

Rejoining the EU is not an immediate prospect. But in an increasingly uncertain world – and with public opinion in favour of greater cooperation – now is the time to revisit our relationship with our European allies. This collection brings together experts and policymakers from the UK and Europe to explore what a new relationship might look like.
