The Divided Kingdom: Psychological Perspectives on the Antecedents and Consequences of Brexit as a Geopolitical Event
Why did people vote “leave” or “remain” in the EU-referendum? And what are the consequences of the “leave” vote for its opponents? This symposium provides answers to these questions from different perspectives within psychology, thereby furthering our understanding of individuals’ voting behaviour and their reactions to geopolitical events.
