The joint conference of the Bertelsmann Stiftung, the Association for British Studies and the Centre for British Studies brings together policy-makers, political scientists and think tankers to discuss the UK’s new role in a rapidly changing European framework, covering the resetting of security relations between the UK, the EU, Germany and beyond. It presents topical insights and different perspectives to improve our understanding of the multilateral and bilateral links, strategic partnerships and networks that define these relations. For this purpose, we invite papers that focus on the multitude of dimensions that underpin the UK’s role as a European security actor, including
• Foreign policy and security cooperation
• Defence, industrial capacity, military and intelligence cooperation
• Economic, trade and energy relations and security
• Immigration, asylum policy and law enforcement
• Mobility, higher education and culture
