'Exodus, Reckoning, Sacrifice: Three Meanings of Brexit' Book Debate
Kalypso Nicolaïdis will be joined by Andrea Ruggeri, Fiona Macintosh, Teresa Bejan and Tae-Yeoun Keum to discuss her latest book, 'Exodus, Reckoning, Sacrifice', which offers a unique take both on Brexit and on the power of mythical stories to frame our democratic conversation.
Nicolaïdis conjures up three archetypes to explore the competing visions that have clashed so dramatically over the meaning of Brexit, whether as the ultimate demonstration of British exceptionalism, a harbinger of terrible truths or sacrifice on the altar of EU unity.

The Changing Grammar of War: Countering Hybrid and Grey Zone Coercion at the Strategic Level
Dr Johnson examines the function of strategy against the phenomenon of hybrid confrontation and coercion, that is, situations where there is aggression and military threat but where hostilities have not been declared. Specifically, it analyses the execution of hybrid strategy and it counter-strategies. First, it evaluates the etymology of the term, the anxieties that it has caused in the West, and its failures or limitations. Second, it examines the value of hybrid strategy, and lays out the counter-strategy, mapping these against the utility of force.
The Political Economy of Suffrage Reform: The Great Reform Act of 1832
Prominent scholars have viewed the Great Reform Act as a concession made by incumbent elites in order to defuse a revolutionary threat. In this essay, we argue that the threat from below did not entail a significant risk of regime overthrow and was addressed by establishing professional police forces in all provincial towns and half the counties. Such forces had been stoutly opposed by the gentry since the Glorious Revolution, on the grounds that they would increase Crown power too much.
