ESRC The UK in a Changing Europe Initiative Research Coordinator

Lead Research Organisation: King's College London
Department Name: War Studies

Abstract

A first task would be to monitor research on the EU and on EU-UK relations in UK universities and research institutes with a view to identifying what areas are covered and which have been neglected or under-investigated. A series of 9 scoping studies will be commissioned to provide a state of the art survey of social scientific research in crucial areas of EU activity. A second strand of work will involve liaison with researchers and research teams engaged in work on the EU with the aim of encouraging an interchange between teams or individuals working on related questions. Finally, the coordinator will help academics to achieve greater impact for their research through numerous activities intended to promote interaction and the exchange of ideas between academics, policy makers and other stakeholders.

Planned Impact

The project will enhance the impact of social scientific research on the EU, and UK relations with the EU, amongst key use communities. Research findings will be more easily accessible to these communities, and will thus be drawn on more systematically in ongoing public and political debates about the EU.
 
Description As ours is not, properly speaking a research grant, key findings are not readily applicable; our primary aim is the dissemination of high-quality research and engagement with a wide cross range of different stakeholder groups. In this context, we have nevertheless produced findings that are reported here including, several MPs Survey with Ipsos MORI's over the last three years; academic reports which were picked up by the media, findings which were reported widely; our experts have given written and verbal evidence in parliament. We also have an extensive website which is updated daily with new content and analysis which then goes on to be featured or included in other major news outlet's publications.

In general- and more important from our vantage point- our research and work has uncovered and interrogated critical areas of complexity and contestation surrounding the UKs relationship with the EU and disseminated these results to a wide audience. In doing so, we have developed a dynamic and flexible model for the development of research. Our network of fellows and researchers (Commissioning Fund, Brexit Priority Grant holders and the recent addition of the Governance After Brexit programme) have enabled us to engage as wide an audience as possible.
Exploitation Route The focus of our project has always been to disseminate research outside the academic world. Over the last few years we have done this by working with a wide range of groups and stakeholders and trailing new forms of engagement - e.g. podcasts with MPs, academics and business leaders; partnering with other organisations to host Facebook live sessions and by pioneering the informal 'Beer and Brexit' series. Our researchers and fellows have continued to give evidence which in turn has informed government policy. Our public events have provided opportunity for informed discussion and debate about what the future may hold for the UK after leaving the European Union which allowed members of the public to ask questions to our experts. Our Brexit Policy Panel survey over 100 academics and monitor attitudes around the Brexit process. Our reports are disseminated on our website and sent to members of parliament and the civil service to inform them of key issues such as the Costs of No Deal and The Brexit Endgame (which looks at what processes parliament might have to implement as a result of Brexit). All of these activities has enabled us to reach, engage with and inform a diverse of stakeholders who can then take our findings forward.

Description Our project is aimed at the dissemination of high quality research and engagement and it is in these terms that we measure and evaluate our impact. In this context, our findings-the research and expertise of our researchers and our diverse publications- have been used in a wide variety of ways. Members of the government, civil servants, politicians and campaigners have been impacted through the targeted distribution of flagship reports; attendance and participation at our events; briefings given the Cabinet Office and major political parties; and evidence presented by our fellows to Parliamentary Committees. We have presented research findings at a number of professional associations including accountants and fund managers. Business groups like PwC and KPMG have received our reports and attended many of our events and report launches. Our findings- broadly defined- are and continue to be used to inform public debate. Our fellows and research are widely cited and used by broadcast, print and digital media outlets. Public events and engagement through new media have led to the direct communication of our research and public engagement with a very broad range of groups including students, schoolchildren, professionals, public sector workers, prisoners, campaigners, activists and members of the public at large. At the majority of our events participants have commented that their view on the referendum and its consequences has been shaped by our input.

The event also answered questions around how Britain's, after Brexit, foreign policy will have to explore how Britain fits into a new competitive and more state-based international system. It is also vital to look into potential ways for cooperation in defence and how both sides will restructure their policies and resources post-Brexit.

It also looked at how will the British diplomacy machinery counteract future security threats, how will new bonds be formed, and emerging challenges be met? Are the diplomatic processes enough to deal with the UK's new position.

Results and Impact 17 September 2019, Understanding the impact of Brexit beyond the UK
As the UK moves towards the hard end of making decisions about Brexit, it is timely to consider the economic impacts on the various types of Brexit on the UK, the EU and beyond. With this in mind, we are pleased to be able to bring together several of the leading economic analysts in the EU on this very subject.
The half-day event will offer a range of perspectives on the modelling of Brexit in soft, hard and no-deal scenarios, highlighting the extent to which this will be a Europe-wide phenomenon and the depth of the interlinkage of the European economy.
This event will be of interest to all those working on Brexit, especially for those seeking to understand the dynamics of economic factors and how it relates to the choices that the UK and EU are making.

Primary Audience Public/other audiences
Results and Impact In partnership with British Future, we held an event to discuss the tone and conduct of this election amidst an unsettled and polarised debate about Brexit and to ask - does this risk being Britain's angriest election yet?

Is this election a threat to our foundational democratic norms and social cohesion - or is this risk being exaggerated? What expectations do we have of politicians and political parties to engage in robust but civil debate?

Who will shape the tone of the political discourse? How far do public voices outside party politics - the media, civic society and voters - have a role to play? And beyond this election, how can divisions be bridged and healed after the votes are counted?

The report, Brexit and the NHS, argues that while the NHS already faces funding pressures, these might increase as a result of the impact of leaving the EU. This might reduce the funds available for healthcare, which will have direct knock-on effects on waiting times, recovery rates and quality of care.

Are Leave and Remain being consolidated as social and political identities? How is the politics of Brexit playing out in relation to British, English, Scottish and Welsh identities?

How well do party dynamics in House of Commons reflect and respond to social divisions across Britain? What is the relationship between the UK-level and devolved democratic institutions over Brexit. What is the scope for experimentalist forms of democracy, including democratic minipublics, to address these issues?

Could some of the political energy currently being devoted to "stop-Brexit" campaigns be better spent on making a more positive and nuanced case for an open immigration policy?

Broadly, how can the UK economy respond to a future with fewer EEA migrants: if UK nationals need higher wages to draw them into low-skill jobs, what are the implications of that? Or will employers automate instead of hiring more expensive Brits?

Geographic Reach National
Primary Audience Media (as a channel to the public)
Results and Impact The discussion surrounding the UK's exit from the European Union has become increasingly contentious. Its presentation in public discourse has created a polarising debate with seemingly decreasing space for informed engagement from experts. The perils of such engagement, particularly on social media, can be stark.

This round table brings together scholars researching, or actively engaged in discussion and debate, on Brexit to consider the place of academic neutrality. In so doing, the participants will reflect on their own personal experiences and consider how we as a community of European Studies scholars can do better to support our colleagues and ensure salient research is able to inform public discussion both on and off social media.

Results and Impact This event, rather close to the referendum itself, aimed to provide information on the potential consequences of the referendum's outcomes. Information was therefore given on the relevance of EU membership and an eventual decision of the UK to withdraw from the EU, mainly answering questions by life and virtual audiences. To start the event, each of the experts gave a short "taster" in the form of a 3 minute statement max - which meant that we had a 15 - 20 minutes introductory "slot". Our chair provided a lively introduction to this, and which lead to direct specific questions to the appropriate expert.

Panel included: Professor Anand Menon, King's College London, specialty in EU membership and the UK, Professor Catherine Barnard, Cambridge University speaking on EU membership and rights of people, Dr Lee McGowan, Queen's University Belfast speaking on EU membership and Northern Ireland, Angus Armstrong, National Institute of Economic and Social Research, will be discussing EU Membership and the economic situation of the UK, Professor Dagmar Schiek, Queen's University Belfast speaking on EU membership and Northern Ireland - legal issues deriving from EU law, and agreements between the UK and Republic of Ireland on Northern Ireland

Results and Impact The media and the use of new communication technologies were a key factor in debate around the Brexit referendum. The link between media, information and political attitudes has been widely explored in the social sciences. Nevertheless, knowledge tends to remain restricted to specific domains such as political economy, political science, and communication & media studies.

The workshop organised by the Department of Economics and Warwick Policy Lab (WPL) sought to narrow this gap by bringing together academics from different backgrounds to discuss the role the media and the provision of information about the EU to the general public, as well as relations between the UK and the EU in the run-up of the Brexit referendum. The workshop was followed by an open lecture about the "100 days of Theresa May's government."

Speakers included: Anna Wambach The School of Geography, Politics and Sociology, Newcastle University, Claudia Zucca VOTEADVICE project, University of Exeter, Alex Dobson Department of Economics, University of Warwick, Sofia Vasilopoulou, Department of Politics, University of York, Carolyn Rowe Aston Centre for Europe, Aston University, Andrew Glencross, University of Stirling, Tatiana Coutto Department of Economics, University of Warwick.
