Brexit and the EU27—a view from France

Article summary

Public Law analysis: With the EU institutions and the EU27 Member States assessing the potential fallout from Brexit, this series continues our exploration of the effect of the UK’s exit from the EU on different jurisdictions across Europe. With high concerns at its own strain of populist nationalism, France, now beginning its presidential election process, presents a unique vantage point for the UK’s Brexit task. Frédérique Berrod and Antoine Ullestad, of the University of Strasbourg, look at populism, the Calais refugee camp, and how other EU-exiters will be chided or emboldened by what form Brexit takes.
