Back to the future? The meaning of Global Britain (UEA After Brexit series 2021)

This lecture looks at Britain and the British empire as a global hegemon in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the policy choices and debates before Britain then, the disappearance of empire and the diminishing of British power after 1945, the legacies of empire on British thinking and policies, and what Global Britain may mean today. In the 2021 lecture series ‘After Brexit: Utopia or Dystopia?’, leading figures from politics and academia shared their reflections, and offered their hopes and fears for post-Brexit Britain.
