Скачать или смотреть What Is the Future of Northern Ireland After Brexit (And Why Should Europe Care)?

Almost immediately after the result of the referendum on the UK’s withdrawal from the EU were known – including Northern Ireland’s majority vote to Remain – speculation has grown about the prospects for Irish unification. This lecture addresses this broad topic in light of the realities of the new political, legal, economic and social environment created by Brexit and the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland that was part of the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement. Based on evidence from empirical research and scholarship, the lecture, organized by the CEU Democracy Institute, in partnership with the Embassy of Ireland to Hungary, explains why the future of Northern Ireland – and the UK Union v. Irish unity debate – should be a concern for all the EU as well as for Britain and Ireland.

Introduction:
H.E. Ronan Gargan, Ambassador of Ireland to Hungary

Speaker:
Katy Hayward, Professor of Political Sociology, Queen’s University Belfast; Senior Fellow, UK in a Changing Europe

Moderator:
Eva Fodor, Co-Director, CEU Democracy Institute
