Brexit negotiations [What Think Tanks are thinking]

The British Prime Minister, Theresa May, called an early general election on 8 June 2017, arguing that victory for her party would ‘strengthen her hand’ in negotiations on the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union.

In March 2017, her government launched the formal procedure for leaving the Union, by triggering Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. The European Council will adopt guidelines for the negotiations on 29 April 2017.

This note offers links to recent commentaries and reports published by major international think tanks on the UK’s plans to leave the EU. More studies on issues raised by the vote can be found in a previous edition of ‘What Think Tanks are thinking’ in February 2017.
