EURUS professors Achim Hurrelmann and Crina Viju belong to a research team that received one of ten Knowledge Synthesis Grants on Canada-UK trade relations after Brexit that were awarded jointly by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) of the United Kingdom.
The project in which Professors Hurrelmann and Viju are involved is titled “Political contestation about international economic agreements: lessons for the Canada-UK trade relationship after Brexit”. It will examine under which circumstances international economic agreements become politically contentious, and which best practices exist for channeling such contention into evidence-based and impactful policy debates.
Principal investigators for this project are Professor Hurrelmann and Professor Ece Ozlem Atikcan of the University of Warwick. Co-applicants are Professor Viju and Professor Adam Chalmers of King’s College London.
