In my last blog post<\/a>, I explained the concept of causal landscapes, which has been developed by the US research psychologist Gary Klein. In this blog post, I am going to provide a causal landscape of the reasons for Brexit\u00a0<\/strong>and to show the power of causal landscape diagrams to summarise complex multi-causal explanations<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Developing the causal landscape<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I have taken the different causes from the Conclusion chapter of Tim Shipman’s excellent book All Out War: The Full Story of How Brexit Sank Britain’s Political Class<\/a>, which is almost universally accepted to be the best book on the Brexit campaign.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I have obviously had to edit, combine and compress his\u00a0points. If he were doing this process himself, no doubt he would produce a diagram with different emphases<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I haven’t tried to create a definitive causal landscape of Brexit by drawing on other resources, although that would be a valuable thing for someone to do. The purpose instead is to illustrate the potential\u00a0of causal landscapes<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
