In this new series, ECFR Director Mark Leonard, with support from guest authors, comments on the position of Britain in Europe as David Cameron’s EU renegotiation campaign continues. Here you will find new analysis on both the principles and practicalities of one of the most important reconsiderations of the European project yet.

We are grateful to Stiftung Mercator for their support for this project.
