The relationship between Britain and Europe has been a defining feature of British foreign policy for centuries. In recent years, this relationship has been tested by a number of challenges, including the financial crisis, the rise of populism, and the decision by the UK to leave the European Union (EU).

The Henry Stimson Lectures Series brings together leading experts from around the world to discuss the future of Britain's relationship with Europe. In this series, we will examine the challenges and opportunities presented by a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape.

The Challenges

There are a number of challenges facing the relationship between Britain and Europe. These include:

Brexit: The decision by the UK to leave the EU has created a great deal of uncertainty about the future of the relationship between the two sides. The UK is currently in the process of negotiating a new trade deal with the EU, but it is unclear what the outcome of these negotiations will be.
The rise of populism: Populist parties have been on the rise in many European countries in recent years. These parties often have anti-EU agendas, and their success could make it more difficult for the UK to maintain close ties with the EU.
The changing geopolitical landscape: The world is becoming increasingly globalized, and the EU is no longer the only major player in international affairs. The rise of China and other emerging powers is changing the balance of power in the world, and this could have a significant impact on the relationship between Britain and Europe.

The Opportunities

Despite the challenges, there are also a number of opportunities for the relationship between Britain and Europe. These include:

Trade: The UK and the EU are each other's largest trading partners. A new trade deal could provide a significant boost to both economies.
Security: The UK and the EU face a number of common security challenges, such as terrorism and climate change. Cooperation between the two sides is essential to addressing these challenges.
Culture: The UK and the EU have a rich cultural heritage. Zusammenarbeit between the two sides can help to promote cultural exchange and understanding.

The Future of the Relationship

The future of the relationship between Britain and Europe is uncertain. However, it is clear that the two sides will continue to need to work together to address common challenges and seize common opportunities. The Henry Stimson Lectures Series will provide a platform for discussion about the future of the relationship between Britain and Europe. We hope that this series will contribute to a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the two sides, and help to shape the debate about the future of the relationship.
