Professor David Phinnemore

School of History, Anthropology, Philosophy and Politics

Professor David Phinnemore’s research interests are focused on European integration and cover in particular processes of EU treaty reform and their impact on the EU, the political dynamics underpinning EU enlargement and the EU’s relations with European non-member states. The UK's withdrawal from the EU has led to a recent focus on the negotiation of ‘Brexit’ and in particular the implications of the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland.
