Abstract
The article presents results of research historical features of the UK’s participation in Common Foreign and Security Policy of the EU in the context of beginning the process of withdrawal from the EU. Position of the UK’s governments regarding the development of CFSP in the context of transformation the European policy during 1990th – 2010s is analyzed. Author’s predictions about the consequences of the «Brexit» process for the international provision of the UK and the EU development in today’s globalized and uncertain world are presented. In conclusions indicated that the CFSP of EU has become an area of European integration, where the position of Great Britain played the critical impact and found the maximum expression. During all periods of the process the interests of British governments was part of its accountability, moderation, focus on principles state-centrism, interstate communications and pragmatism. The desire to take a leading position in the political process of European integration had to compensate country limited participation in the implementation of other relevant EU projects, increase effect in Europe, while maintaining the primacy of the Atlantic towards foreign policy based on the «special relationship» with the US. Approaches to the official London to the CFSP allowed leadership of the country at different historical stages, depending on the political situation, exert a restraining or stimulating effect on the processes of integration. UK thanks to the victory of populism during the period of Cameron’s government has lost once and a real chance to lead a United Europe in the general crisis of the EU. Results Britain’ exit from the EU is ambiguous and not predictable. Due to the complete withdrawal from the Community Britain would be forced to leave the mechanisms of the CFSP. It summarize historical ambitions of the UK as a world power. However, the political system and security system of a United Europe will be imbalance due to the liquidation of the British counterweight to the Franco-German influence. Solving of problems of EU’s CFSP without Britain as one of its leaders is very problematic. The author predicts that contrary to the expectations of the British leadership, exit from the EU will not lead to empowerment and influence of Great Britain in the international arena. In terms of modern transformations of international relations the UK outside the United Europe can become more closed and vulnerable to external shocks and threats that are usually pay for a policy of global intervention. Exit from the EU can cost for country stability both on the domestic and foreign levels. Also complete the «Brexit» will be adversely affect for international position of Ukraine.
