David Bell, Professor Emeritus at Stirling University will give a conference on how intergovernmental relations in the UK have been affected by the Brexit on August 8 at CIRANO during his visit to Montreal. 

He will address several topics such as the deterioration of trade relations which has been a source of friction, as well as some of the mechanisms to replace the EU's legal frameworks, the replacement of the EU's structural funds with so-called "levelling-up" funding which is widely seen as a sign of a move towards a policy that will have little effect on the UK's substantial regional inequalities, the Internal Market Act, which replaces the EU's single market framework and has led to intergovernmental friction, and the Northern Ireland Protocol, negotiated and then disowned by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and replaced by the "Windsor Framework", wich seeks to provide suitable conditions for the restoration of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
