Since the British electorate voted in favour of the UK leaving the EU in the referendum on 23rd<\/sup> June 2016, hardly a day has gone by without the topic being in the news or the subject of an expert panel. This is not surprising because the process of extracting the UK from the EU looks set to be extraordinarily complex and to have implications that are likely to reach into all areas of policy. Moreover, as the EU can be seen as one of the essential cornerstones of a peaceful Europe and of the liberal international order, Brexit may also turn out to have important, albeit subtle, implications for security and international order. What will be the implications for European security, for the CSDP and European defence cooperation, for the transatlantic relationship and NATO and for the wider liberal international order? These are the questions that will be addressed by a panel of security experts who each focus on these less tangible, but certainly no less important implications of last year\u2019s Brexit vote.<\/p>\n
