The decision to ditch the UK’s Department for International Trade is testament to the failure of Brexit

Posted on 13 February 2023

New article by Professor Tony Heron

Professor Tony Heron has a new article he has co-authored alongside Gabriel Siles-Brügge which has been published in The Conversation.

The article: "The decision to ditch the UK’s Department for International Trade is testament to the failure of Brexit" was first published on 13th February 2023.

Abstract:

The move to merge the UK government’s departments of trade and business has been likened by one journalist to rearranging the deckchairs on a sinking ship. But it is in fact a significant moment in the country’s foreign and economic policy – and a tacit acknowledgement that attempts to seize Brexit “opportunities” through trade have been a failure.
