Abstract
In this final chapter we seek to establish and reflect on the complex notion of a political legacy. We also aim to emphasise the potential this work has to launch further research questions and enterprises. We understand a legacy as a long-term project which requires a multi-disciplinary approach alongside a range of research methodologies. Nevertheless, we believe the framework of a legacy makes it possible to understand how the present is shaped by the past and how the future is anticipated.
