UKAEL

The UKAEL brings together all those across the UK with an interest in European Union law.

UKAEL Annual Lecture by Sir Martin Donnelly

Sovereignty, Law and the Common Good: Constitutional Lessons from Brexit

 

4 December 2018 at 6.30 pm
Edmond J Safra Lecture Theatre, King's College London, Strand Campus

Followed by a Drinks Reception

 

What does the Brexit process tell us about shifting views of law and constitutional legitimacy within and across the United Kingdom?   Events since 2014 have increased the need for a new constitutional settlement, even as the country becomes more profoundly divided about what that might entail. The alternative is an unstable period of majoritarian identity politics, with consequences for the UK’s economic wellbeing and national cohesion.

 

Sir Martin Donnelly retired from the civil service in 2017 after seven years as a Permanent Secretary. His career included senior positions in the Treasury, Foreign Office, Cabinet Office, Home Office, and Business Department, and he set up the Department of International Trade after the 2016 referendum. He has also worked in the European Commission and French Finance Ministry. He studied at Oxford University, the College of Europe and the Ecole National d’Administration in Paris. He is currently an Academic Visitor at Hertford College, Oxford.
