A shorter version of my Harsh Brexit scenario

Published by the LSE's EUROPP blog: http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2016/06/09/scenarios-new-uk-eu-relationship-harsh-brexit/

What consequences will Britain’s EU referendum have for both the UK and the rest of Europe? In a series of papers published as a collaboration between EUROPP and CIDOB(the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs), LSE authors analyse the prospects for three scenarios – a Bremain, a ‘soft’ Brexit and a ‘harsh’ Brexit. Tim Oliver discusses what would happen in the case of a ‘harsh’ Brexit, which is defined as the UK exiting the EU with a significant deterioration in relations between Britain and other EU countries. The full papers are available here.
