BREXIT and Implications for European Economic Sanctions Policy

Past Event

7:00 am - 8:30 am

Favored by both in lieu of military force and diplomatic weight, economic sanctions have played a major role in the management and resolution of a variety of conflicts and issues around the world.  How will this change in Europe in light of BREXIT?  Will the UK retain its role and posture as an advocate and leader of economic sanctions?  How should the United States respond?
