Financial Times: Should the world care about Brexit?
8 January 2019
Thomas Sampson, a London School of Economics scholar, detects a wider global meaning in Brexit. "The period since world war II has been marked by growing economic and cultural globalisation and, in Europe, increasing political integration under the auspices of the European Union. Brexit marks a departure from this trend... More broadly, Brexit raises questions about the future stability of the EU and the extent to which further globalisation is inevitable."
