RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The article aims at identifying and discussing historical determinants of British/English separateness.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: Brexit is the sign of disintegration tendencies within the EU. The decision taken by the British society in June 2016 regarding withdrawal from the EU disrupted the dynamics of the integration processes. Brexit reflects the British separateness. Determinants of the British separateness were studied with the application of the following research methods: literature studies, critical thinking, inductive and deductive reasoning, nomothetic analysis.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The line of reasoning consists of three essential elements. At first, Brexit literature review was conducted in order to identify the research gap. The next part focuses on the dynamics of the process of Brexit. The final part concentrates on the analysis of sources of separateness of England/Great Britain.
RESEARCH RESULTS: The conducted research and analysis made it possible to confirm hypothesis according to which Brexit is yet another example of separateness of Great Britain, while separateness of Great Britain results from numerous determinants (including historical ones) and history brings reasons for and indications of its separateness.
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The specific path of England to the position of world leader has left its mark not only on social relations, but also on the mentality of the English. It confirmed their belief in the uniqueness and difference as compared to other nations. This regularity has been confirmed by the referendum on leaving the EU. The British separateness should be considered as essential factor in the process of post-Brexit relations between the EU and the UK in regard to political aspects and practical issues.
