The result was unexpected and since then Britain, the EU and the world are adjusting to a new uncertainty in global economics and politics. Prof. Paul Kelly will examine the most recent developments in the UK since the referendum results and the scenarios for both the UK and the EU as BREXIT negotiations are set to commence from March 2017.
