Following the results of the Brexit referendum, the UK left the EU on 31 January 2020. This was followed by a transition, during which time the UK remains in both the EU customs union and single market. The transition period was meant to allow the UK and the EU to reach an agreement on a free-trade deal. However, such a deal has not yet been reached and the transition will be ending on 31 December 2020, with no extension possible. Besides trade, many other aspects of the future UK-EU relationship still need to be decided. IES Director Jeroen Dewulf and Terri Bimes (Associate Teaching Professor of Political Science, UC Berkeley) discuss the current negotiations and attempt to get a clearer understanding of how Brexit could look after the transition ends with IES Senior Fellow Matt Beech and Professor of Political Science Mark Bevir.
