Post-Brexit transition: implications on UK-Africa relations

15
September 2016
Jonathan Eyal and Malcolm Chalmers 

A significant degree of uncertainty remains on the consequences of Britain’s EU referendum. Once Article 50 is triggered, the Brexit will still have to be enforced and effective.

To answer some of our questions on the future of the UK-Africa relations, we are pleased to welcome with us, two senior experts from the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) in London; Dr. Jonathan Eyal, Director of Strategic Partnerships and Pr. Malcolm Chalmers, Deputy Director General of the RUSI.

    China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is an international trade and development strategy. Launched in 2013, it is one of the ways China asserts its role in world affairs and captures the opportunities of globalisation.
