Negotiating the future. The UK's repositioning in Europe: processes and consequences

英国脱离欧盟将是英国、欧盟乃至整个欧洲大陆的历史性发展。该项目将审查未来三年对英国与其欧洲邻国关系的评估：它将从三个方面研究和报告英国和欧盟在未来英国-欧盟关系谈判中的做法--各自采取什么立场，以及双方被纳入和被排除在外的参与者；它将监测谈判的进展，并审查最有可能出现的两种情况对两国关系“宏观”模式的影响--“挪威模式”及其变体、“加拿大经济和贸易协定”、瑞士式的双边“不达成协议”--以及根据《政治宣言》的条款需要谈判的关键政策部门的治理，包括航空、竞争政策和金融服务；它还将研究英国加强与欧盟成员国关系的双边战略，与欧盟以外欧洲国家的关系，以及英国退欧对涵盖安全和其他关键领域的国际安排的影响。该项目将对将从根本上重塑英国在欧洲地位的事态发展提供权威描述。研究活动将首先以综合现有研究为基础，但由于过去的工作本身只能为分析快速和复杂的事态发展提供基础，该项目还将包括新的研究，特别是对主要文件和评论的分析，以及对欧洲各地主要决策者、利益攸关方和知情观察员的访谈。它将在研究欧盟与成员国之间关系的职业生涯中发展起来的PI的联系网络中建立联系网络，在该方案下的第一轮通话中担任高级研究员的经验，并通过领导ESRC资助的项目“谈判英国退欧”，该项目汇集了一个由15个成员国、主要欧盟机构、英国和挪威组成的观察站，作为EFTA中最大的国家。通过一个雄心勃勃的接触和知识交流活动计划，该项目将使用各种渠道和产出来产生和传播知情分析，以满足公众的需求。以及来自英国和其他地方的决策者、国会议员、权力下放机构、监管机构、企业、工人和其他利益集团的更专业要求。因此，这将推动英国加入不断变化的欧洲使命，即为有关英国退欧的高质量研究信息提供权威和独立的参照点。这种分析尤其重要，因为正如第50条谈判所显示的那样，英国的政治辩论往往忽略了欧盟27国的立场，媒体报道主要集中在威斯敏斯特。研究团队将在整个项目期间积极与用户接触。它将提供研究综述、报告、博客和其他材料，政策制定者、企业、记者、公民社会组织、教育机构和对英国与欧盟关系感兴趣的公众可以轻松获取。这些出版物将通过一个专门的项目网站和伦敦国王学院的“变化中的欧洲中的英国”知识中心提供。传播计划包括地方、国家和国际活动，包括“市政厅”、公开讲座和诺里奇的六年级学生讲座，以及每年一次的关于谈判的国际会议，以及在社区团体组织的会议上的发言，参加小组讨论。作为高级研究员，我将与“不断变化的欧洲中的英国”主任和其他研究员密切合作，为出版物做出贡献，参与活动，并与当地、国家和国际媒体合作。

The UK's departure from the European Union will be a historic development for the UK, the EU and the wider continent. This project will examine the evaluation of the UK's relationship with its European neighbours over the next three years: it will research and report on three aspects the approach of the UK and the EU to the negotiations on the future UK-EU relationship - what position each takes, and the actors who are included and excluded on each side; it will monitor the progress of the negotiations and examine the implications, both of the most likely scenarios for the 'macro' model of the relationship - the 'Norway model' and its variants, the Canadian Economic and Trade Agreement, a Swiss-style bilateral, 'No Deal' - and for the governance of key policy sectors, including aviation, competition policy, and financial services, that are up for negotiation under the terms of the Political Declaration; and it will examine the UK's bilateral strategy to strengthen relations with EU member states, its relations with European countries outside the EU, and the impact of Brexit on international arrangements covering security and other key fields.The project will deliver an authoritative account of developments that will fundamentally recast the UK's position in Europe . Research activities will be based in the first instance on synthesising existing research, but since past work alone can provide only a foundation for the analysis of fast-moving and complex developments, the project will also include new research, in particular the analysis of primary documentation and commentary, and interviews with key decision-makers, stakeholders, and informed observers across Europe. It will build to gain access on the PI's network of contacts, developed over a career of researching the relationship between the EU and the member states, experience as a Senior Fellow in the first round of calls under the programme, and through leadership of the ESRC-funded project, 'Negotiating Brexit', which brought together an observatory of experts covering 15 member states, the main EU institutions, the UK, and Norway as the largest state in EFTA.With an ambitious plan of engagement and knowledge exchange activities, the project will produce and disseminate informed analysis using a variety of channels and outputs that will meet the demand from the public, as well as more specialist requirements from decision makers, parliamentarians, the devolved authorities, regulators, business, workers and other interests in the UK and elsewhere. It will thus advance the 'UK in a Changing Europe's mission of providing an authoritative and independent reference point for high-quality research-based information on Brexit. Such analysis is especially important, since, as the Article 50 negotiations have shown, the political debate in the UK has tended to neglect the positions of the EU27 and media coverage to focus on largely on Westminster.The research team will actively engage with users throughout the project's duration. It will deliver research syntheses, reports, blogs, and other material that are easily accessible to policy makers, businesses, journalists, civil society organisations, educational institutions and the general public, interested in the UK's relationship with the EU. These publications will be made available via a dedicated project website and the 'UK in a Changing Europe' knowledge hub at King's College London. The dissemination programme includes local, national and international events, including a 'town hall', public lectures, and talks to sixth-formers in Norwich, and and an annual international conference on the negotiations, as well as addresses to meetings organised by community groups, participate in panels. As a Senior Fellow, I will work closely with the Director of 'The UK in a Changing Europe' and other Fellows, contributing to publications, participating in events, and working with the local, national and international media.
