Brexit and the global liberal order

ON March 28, British Prime Minister Theresa May dispatched a letter to the European Union (EU) stating Britian's intention to exit from union under Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union.

Now this can seem somewhat arcane but essentially May has started the Brexit (Britain's exit from the EU) process which will take two years and can only be extended if all 27 remaining member states of the EU and Britain agree to such an extension.
