Course Summary
This course seeks to identify the trends and themes in British history and society that combined to make Brexit possible. Concentrating on the period since WWII, it assesses the real and imaginary impacts of the loss of Empire and great power status, of the development of the welfare state, of the sense of national decline, and of the seemingly impossible adjustment to new economic and political realities, while analyzing the emergence, power, and longevity of the anti-EU movement. It goes on to consider the state of Britain’s soft power, its cultural equity, in the context of possible post-Brexit futures.
