Good Neighbours? The UK and Europe after Brexit
This is a podcast series for anyone interested in the UK’s departure from the EU. In each episode, we ask guest experts to explore how the UK has re-positioned itself in Europe and the world since it left the EU on 31 January 2020
How has UK foreign policy changed? Can the Withdrawal Agreement (WA) and the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) provide a solid basis for the UK-EU relations? How is the UK and its relationship with the EU viewed from European capitals? What are the possibilities and prospects for the UK-EU relations?
The view from Brussels
The view from Brussels With guests Stefaan De Rynck, former Senior Advisor to EU Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier on Brexit matters and Dan Ferrie, Press Officer for Brexit between Nov 2016 and Dec 2019 in the European Commission. Two insiders from the EU negotiation team offer insights on the EU’s approach to the negotiations on the UK’s withdrawal. They discuss the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), which forms the basis of the UK’s post-Brexit relationship with the EU. *This podcast episode was recorded in March 2021 shortly after the end of the transition period. Its purpose is to gather the recollections of some of those involved in the Brexit process on the EU side.* Other views are expressed during the course of the series. For a full range of perspectives on the negotiations, see the UK in a Changing Europe Brexit Witness Archive.

The Swiss model and beyond
The Swiss model and beyond With Stefanie Walter, Professor of International Relations and Political Economy at the University of Zurich, and Christian Frommelt, Director and Head of Research Politics at the Liechtenstein Institut.
