{"title":"Potential risks to the National Health Service (NHS) of a Post-Brexit US Trade Deal","authors":"Louise Dalingwater","doi":"10.4000/LISA.13088","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4000/LISA.13088","url":null,"abstract":"At the very heart of the pro-Brexit narrative, currently supported by Eurosceptic politicians such as Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and David Davis, and Conservative think tanks including the Institute of Economic Affairs and Adam Smith’s Institute, is the belief that breaking European ties will enable Britain to reunite with the Anglosphere and notably its treasured ally, the United States. There are many indications that a post Brexit trade deal is in the pipeline with Donald Trump’s declaration in July 2019 that a “very substantial” trade deal was underway. Moreover, in late November 2019, Jeremy Corbyn contended that Conservatives were negotiating a secret trade deal containing clauses which would open the NHS up to American pharmaceutical companies. The central focus of this paper is thus to examine the likely consequences of a post-Brexit trade deal between the US and the UK and to consider to what extent it could undermine the UK’s ability to provide a free, universal public health service. In particular, it will examine empirical evidence on the impacts that FTAs have already had on access to medicine for countries which have been signatory to bilateral and plurilateral trade deals. Particular country contexts of price regimes for medication will be reviewed. It will also consider other FTA clauses such as public procurement and Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) and their potential to disrupt national governments’ ability to protect public health service provision. Such evidence can then be used to hypothesise about the potential risks for Britain post Brexit.","PeriodicalId":41099,"journal":{"name":"Revue LISA-LISA E-Journal","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74093302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Williams","doi":"10.4000/LISA.13019","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4000/LISA.13019","url":null,"abstract":"In 2018 the outgoing German ambassador to the UK, Peter Ammon, suggested that a sense of national identity based on how Britain had “stood alone” during the Second World War, combined with a negative perception of Germany’s supposed domination of the EU, had fuelled Euroscepticism and contributed to the success of the Leave campaign in the 2016 Brexit referendum. While recognising that references to Britain’s wartime past and fears of German power in the present-day EU are by no means identical issues, this article traces the frequent convergence of these two themes in Eurosceptic rhetoric during the decade preceding Britain’s exit from the EU on 31 January 2020.It reveals that concerns about Germany’s “domination” of the European project, an important theme in British Euroscepticism since Thatcher, resurfaced in the early 2010s, particularly in the context of the Eurozone debt crisis. The Second World War was subsequently a frequent point of historical reference during debates on Brexit, primarily though not exclusively among Eurosceptics. While specifically anti-German uses of the Second World War were less common during the 2016 referendum campaign, they re-emerged with particular bitterness during the difficult post-referendum negotiations.","PeriodicalId":41099,"journal":{"name":"Revue LISA-LISA E-Journal","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74489646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cloarec","doi":"10.4000/LISA.13168","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4000/LISA.13168","url":null,"abstract":"At a time when the British political scene and media environment have been saturated with references to “the people” and “the people’s voice”, films may seem the ideal means to question what it means to “represent” something or someone, and reveal how the term of “people”, while being overused and misused, offers a floating signifier that conjures up all types of projections. This article focuses on three films whose reception has been skewed by the context of Brexit, and more particularly by the issues related to the referendum and the concomitant political instrumentalisation of the notion of “the people’s voice”. My contention is that the three films interrogate the very notion of representation, namely what representing a nation and its “people” means. Instead of claiming they convey the “true” voice of the people, each film dramatises the staging of a battle of words, which is thus construed as the essence of the democratic debate. Even more specifically, each film offers a reflection on the political power of words through its cinematographic tools. In each case, albeit with obvious stylistic differences, both mise en scene and montage give a proper dialectical dimension to the film discourse insofar as the narratives are built on a series of ruptures or contrasts that are orchestrated into an organic whole.","PeriodicalId":41099,"journal":{"name":"Revue LISA-LISA E-Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82961363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vote for Brexit and Donald Trump’s election represent two spectacular populist victories and this article will highlight the strikingly similar dynamics at work in both elections. We will see that the two populist leaders, Nigel Farage in Britain and Donald Trump in the US, mobilised the same arguments and themes to connect to an audience which for years had nourished resentment and anger at the way traditional politicians had governed national politics in their respective countries. Thus, with the Brexit and Trump victories, fringe narratives became mainstream politics and upset the established political order. Nativism, racism and xenophobia, anti-establishment attitudes became the dominant themes of the political debate. It is important to understand how two major Western democracies surrendered to the populist calls and this article tries to provide an analysis on this populist phenomenon in Britain and the US.","PeriodicalId":41099,"journal":{"name":"Revue LISA-LISA E-Journal","volume":"261 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79688313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
