BREXIT ESSAY QUESTIONS

Questions Prompted by Brexit

{First of the European Crises Under Review]

You might think of writing your 5-7 page term paper on one of these.  If so, you can start and finish the paper early.

1. To what extent can Brexit be understood as a peculiarly British phenomenon? And to what extent can it be understood as part of a more general Western phenomenon?

2. What outcome (“hard exit.” “soft exit,” “no exit”) will/ought Her Majesty’s Government (HMG) pursue?    What outcome (“hard exit.” “soft exit,” “no exit”) will/ought the EU offer?

3. To what extent can the causes of Brexit be reduced to immigration?

4. In what ways are Farage and Trump (and the movements they inspire) similar and different?

5. Did the EU make a mistake in not offering Cameron better terms in the lead up to the Brexit vote?

6. Should the EU offer Brits. European passports?
