Brexit in Betwixt. Some European Conjectures on its Predictability and Implications

Abstract

Looking at it from a European perspective, Brexit is a looming catastrophe with wide-ranging repercussions, also in the realms of archaeology and heritage management. In addition to its legal consequences for heritage protection, Brexit will have an impact on UK-based EU personnel, in both academic and commercial sectors, and also on funding, when EU sources will no longer be accessible. Whether or not this represents opportunities for Europe is debated. Raising the question of the predictability of Brexit, I also point at ingrained challenges relating to the enhancement of localism and the denigration of expertise, and conclude with a warning on the possible populist undertones of archaeology and heritage funding in post-Brexit Britain.
