The Oxford Conference, ‘You Looking At Me, Looking At You: BREXIT Britain And The World’, took place at St Antony’s College on 16th May 2017 and focused specifically on three perspectives on Brexit: how the UK expects its relationship with Europe to change; how the UK hopes to engage with the rest of the (non-European) world; and how the world might respond to this (unforeseen) European divorce.
