In the wake of the British vote to leave the EU, this conference will examine concerns across Europe around the democratic legitimacy of EU institutions and the European project as a whole. It will look at how the debate about EU democratic legitimacy across member states fit within the context of a crisis of trust in institutions at both national and international levels in the wake of the 2008 economic crisis.
Date: Wednesday 26 October 2016
Time: 2.30pm-7.30pm
Venue: Europe House, 32 Smith Square, London, SW1P 3EU
