Anand Menon is a leading expert on the UK’s relationship with Europe, and on both domestic politics and foreign affairs. He is Director of the UK in a Changing Europe think tank and has recently been appointed as a Director at Public First, a leading policy, research and strategy consultancy. Now Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs at King’s College London, Anand’s academic career has spanned over thirty years, during which time he has taught and researched British and European politics at several leading universities.

A regular media commentator, Anand is a skilled communicator, able to convey the detail and complexity of international relations in an accessible, relevant, and often entertaining way to any audience.

With the clarity and impartiality of an academic, Anand also brings enthusiasm and approachability to a complex and multi-layered subject. He introduces a fresh perspective on the future of the UK and its relations with its nearest neighbour and most important trade partner. Beyond the evolution of both UK domestic policy and UK-EU relations, Anand also examines what the future could hold for the EU itself – from expansion to economic growth to security – and the implications for the whole world.

Alongside regular appearance on radio and television, including Question Time and Newsnight, the Today programme and Analysis on Radio 4, he has written for many specialist foreign policy and political, as well as mainstream, publications including The Times, the FT, Le Monde, The Guardian, the Mirror and New Statesman.

Anand is also co-author of Brexit and British Politics, an exploration of the underlying reasons behind the Brexit vote, the relationship between people and politics, and the implications for democracy and democratic debate in the UK.
