Britain and Europe: Is Brexit going to happen and what would it mean for the USA?

Thursday, March 10, 2016
01:30 pm - 3:00 pm 
For full details and registration here.

David Cameron has announced that on 23 June the British people will vote in a referendum to decide whether or not Britain should remain a member of the European Union. Opinion polls show the result could be close. Will the vote see Britain become the first country to exit the EU? What would happen following a vote to leave? Will the result settle the European question in UK politics? And what could the referendum mean for the USA and the transatlantic relationship?
