These range from diplomatic relations, to commercial, financial, defence and migration issues. The ambition and scope of the centre is therefore to examine the future relationship between the EU and the UK not from a divergence/fracture perspective that is the one that has been focused on thus far. Rather, it aims to explain, through a multi-dimensional and inter- and multi-disciplinary approach, whether new forms of co-operation and governance can be adopted to promote convergence and the attainment of common interests between the EU and the UK." } ] } ] ```
