  • Background, Brexit, and Relations with the United States
    The United Kingdom: Background, Brexit, and Relations with the United States Updated April 16, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL33105 SUMMARY RL33105 The United Kingdom: Background, Brexit, and April 16, 2021 Relations with the United States Derek E. Mix Many U.S. officials and Members of Congress view the United Kingdom (UK) as the United Specialist in European States’ closest and most reliable ally. This perception stems from a combination of factors, Affairs including a sense of shared history, values, and culture; a large and mutually beneficial economic relationship; and extensive cooperation on foreign policy and security issues. The UK’s January 2020 withdrawal from the European Union (EU), often referred to as Brexit, is likely to change its international role and outlook in ways that affect U.S.-UK relations. Conservative Party Leads UK Government The government of the UK is led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the Conservative Party. Brexit has dominated UK domestic politics since the 2016 referendum on whether to leave the EU. In an early election held in December 2019—called in order to break a political deadlock over how and when the UK would exit the EU—the Conservative Party secured a sizeable parliamentary majority, winning 365 seats in the 650-seat House of Commons. The election results paved the way for Parliament’s approval of a withdrawal agreement negotiated between Johnson’s government and the EU. UK Is Out of the EU, Concludes Trade and Cooperation Agreement On January 31, 2020, the UK’s 47-year EU membership came to an end.

  • Strategic Defence and Security Review
    Strategic Defence and Security Review Standard Note: SN/IA/5592 Last updated: 13 October 2010 Authors: Claire Taylor and Jon Lunn Section International Affairs and Defence Section Prior to the general election, both the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats committed to undertaking a strategic defence review should they form the next government. That Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) was subsequently announced shortly after the new Coalition Government took office in May 2010. In contrast to the previous SDR of 1998, this review will be broader in its scope, cross departmental and be overseen by the newly formed National Security Council. It will also stand alongside a new National Security Strategy. The new National Security Strategy is expected to be published on 18 October; while the SDSR is expected to be published on 19 October 2010. Therefore, it is difficult to conclude with any certainty at present what its final recommendations may be. Therefore, this note seeks to identify emerging themes and provides a list of suggested reading material for relevant commentary.

  • Briefing Paper
    European Multinationals briefing paper Playing to its Strengths: Rethinking the UK’s Role in a Changing World Robin Niblett Chatham House | June 2010 | UK BP 2010/01 Summary points Structural shifts in the global economic and political centre of gravity from West to East, growing competition for natural resources, new risks emanating from the most fragile states and pressure to reform structures of global governance will all affect the UK’s long-term security and prosperity. A global role for the UK is therefore a necessity, not a luxury. But its relative place in the world and the legitimacy of its stake in the global system are under serious pressure, not least because of the perceived flaws of the Anglo-Saxon economic model following the global financial crisis. Britain needs to focus on core strategic objectives that go beyond crisis management. Central among these should be the promotion of open markets that can help deliver sustainable global growth even in this period of economic uncertainty. The UK possesses considerable strengths through which it can advance its national interests, particularly in the areas of diplomacy, finance and knowledge. It will remain a top-ten global military power and retains important comparative economic advantages. Britain sits at the heart of the world’s leading international organizations and is well placed to deepen its relations with the large number of medium-sized countries in key regions that have traditionally stood back from engaging meaningfully in these institutions, but whose influence is now increasing. www.chathamhouse.org.uk Playing to its Strengths: Rethinking the UK’s Role in a Changing World 2 e g a p Introduction attacks.

  • Britain, the EU and the Sovereignty Myth Britain, the EU and the Sovereignty Myth
    Research Paper Robin Niblett Europe Programme | May 2016 Britain, the EU and the Sovereignty Myth Britain, the EU and the Sovereignty Myth Summary • The question of sovereignty lies at the heart of the UK’s upcoming EU referendum. Many in Britain believe that the process of EU decision-making has undermined British parliamentary democracy, and that leaving the EU is the only way for the British people to regain control of their sovereignty. • This ignores the fact that successive British governments have chosen to pool aspects of the country’s sovereign power in the EU in order to achieve national objectives that they could not have achieved on their own, such as creating the single market, enlarging the EU, constraining Iran’s nuclear programme, and helping to design an ambitious EU climate change strategy. • Apart from EU immigration, the British government still determines the vast majority of policy over every issue of greatest concern to British voters – including health, education, pensions, welfare, monetary policy, defence and border security. The arguments for leaving also ignore the fact that the UK controls more than 98 per cent of its public expenditure. • The British economy has prospered in the EU. The UK boasts higher economic growth and lower unemployment than most major developed economies. It attracts the most foreign direct investment in the EU, and is ranked among the most open places to do business in the developed world. British economic weaknesses, such as low growth in productivity, are self-inflicted. • However, a successful economy and free-movement rules have led to high levels of immigration from the EU.

  • A World of Two Or Three? the US, China and the EU in a New Global Order
    A world of two or three? The US, China and the EU in a new global order Palau de Pedralbes, Barcelona January 18th, 2020 In collaboration with: Supported by: Institutional board members: A world of two or three? The US, China and the EU in a new global order For the last few years the fault-lines dividing the United States and the People’s Republic of China seem not only to consolidate but to deepen further. Some voices suggest that we might be on the edge of the formation of a new bipolar system with dynamics mimicking those of the Cold War in the 20th Century between the US and the USSR. From trade wars to technological competition the effects of their current incipient contest are already affecting the contours of the global order. Amid the potential clash between Washington and Beijing, the European Union is asking itself whether it could become a third global pole in its own right and if it is interested in it to happen. After the Parliamentary elections in May 2019 and the constitution of the new EU Commission, new European leaderships must take strategic decisions on what the role of the European Union amid this contest should be. At the same time, Russia also tries to play a leading role in shaping the new world order. What should the EU do in order to secure its positions as a third independent voice? How would transatlantic relations be reshaped in this context? A new distribution of power might come hand-in-hand with substantial changes in the international order.

  • Brexit & the Re-Making of British Foreign Policy
    LONDON’S GLOBAL UNIVERSITY BREXIT & THE RE-MAKING OF BRITISH FOREIGN POLICY Nicholas Wright Working Paper December 2017 This working paper was generously supported by funds from the UCL Global Engagement Office. All views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the UCL European Institute. © Nicholas Wright (Image credit: fpx120112-16 by Dennis Hill, CC BY 4.0) Brexit & the re-making of British foreign policy Nicholas Wright* * Dr Nicholas Wright is Teaching Fellow in EU Politics in the UCL Department of Political Science. BREXIT & THE RE-MAKING OF BRITISH FOREIGN POLICY N WRIGHT Executive Summary Since the end of the Second World War, the UK has been a multilateral power par excellence, contributing to the construction and expansion of many of the most important institutions of international governance, and championing a rules-based international system. In its 2015 National Security Strategy document, for example, the British government identified the maintenance of this system as a core national interest, contributing to the UK’s capacity to ‘punch above its weight’ in international affairs. With Brexit entailing the UK’s departure from a major component of this system, a number of important questions must be addressed, including: • What challenges will Brexit pose to British foreign policy-makers and institutions? • What will be the future of UK-EU relations in the context of foreign, security and defence policy? • What will Brexit mean for how the UK engages with the wider world, and particularly the wider multilateral system? • And how can the UK government mitigate the risk of Brexit resulting in a significant loss of international influence, reducing the UK’s ability to defend, promote and pursue its interests globally? At EU level, the challenges for the UK are two-fold.
