The United Kingdom, an Undecided “Player”

Abstract

The Great Britain always considered herself an insular area in Europe’s neighborhood, keeping tight relations with the European countries, having common allies, but never perceived as being an actual part of Europe. Most of the time Great Britain hasn’t got a policy in conformity with the rest of the member states. EU had been needing the presence of a so called “the devil’s advocate”. The opposition manifested regarding The Lisbon Treaty was probably determined by possible constraints which this treaty would have brought regarding the external relation of Great Britain with third party states, like the USA.
