“Brexit may yet not occur or be seriously redefined and limited as the dangers of PM Johnson’s policies become clear.” – Armand de Mestral

His current research interest is the law of international economic integration.

“The 2016 Brexit referendum has created a constitutional crisis that remains unresolved. What began as an internal problem for the UK's Conservative Party has now become a national problem that threatens the structures of Britain's democracy and the union of England/Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.” – Brian Cowan

Professor Cowan holds the Canada Research Chair in Early Modern British History. He studies the social and cultural history of ideas in early modern Britain and Europe.
