Abstract

With a good two weeks to go, the threat of a hard Brexit looms. Since March, the European Union and the United Kingdom have been negotiating their future relationship. The three main points of contention are still unresolved, and each side seems incapable of understanding the other. On what conditions is an agreement still possible? What external economic and foreign policy consequences would a No Deal have for the UK and the EU?
