This conference, part of the cycle of debates Las razones de Europa (Europe's Reasons), is organised by the Escola Europea de Pensament Lluís Vives.  The European Commission's Jean Monnet Action is also involved in this particular conference.

In Guía para entender el Brexit, the economist, professor and politician from Madrid, who also specialises in European Union economics, will explain the main keys to understanding Brexit, this political phenomenon that has been drawing the attention of all the international media for more than three years.   

Álvaro Anchuelo will approach this complex subject from a broad perspective, ideal for an audience that does not specialise in economics. The Spanish economist and politician, who was in the Congress of Deputies representing the UPyD party, will review the historical peculiarities that have characterized the relationship in the United Kingdom and the European Union, in addition to analysing the exit agreement and the different elements that compose them.

In this conference, Anchuelo will also review the different models of future relationship that could exist between the United Kingdom and the EU-27, the latter formed by the free trade agreement, the customs union or the single market.  In his speech, the Professor of the University of Alcalá will also review the effects of Brexit on the Spanish economy, both at an aggregate level and in the specific sectors most affected.
