This course will consider the reality of U.K. trade in the new period ushered in by the signing of the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). The course will begin with the study of the exact nature of the terms of trade established by the TCA, agreed on Christmas Eve of 2020. It will also consider arrangements for service markets (not included in the deal) as they emerge over 2021. The course will then give full consideration to the sectors and industries which will be affected by Brexit, providing detail about how Brexit will impact across different areas. Having examined the challenges represented by Brexit, especially in terms of new costs (non-tariff barriers) accompanying trade under the auspices of the new deal, we will also consider which opportunities may present themselves at this juncture -- for the U.K. and others. The course will also include considerations of the future of trade between the U.K. and Denmark, as well as other EU nations. |
