Professor Anand Menon

Professor Anand Menon

Director at UK in a Changing Europe

Anand Menon is a leading expert on the UK’s relationship with Europe, and on home and foreign affairs more widely. He is a Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs at King’s College London, and the Director of the UK in a Changing Europe think tank. In an academic career stretching over thirty years, he has taught and researched British and European politics at several leading universities and is a respected voice on EU-UK relations in the media.

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 keen clarity and objectivity 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, which delivers an objective 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.
