The UK's island identity has long shaped its political outlook – is that why it currently feels so adrift?

UK foreign policy has long been shaped by a particular geopolitical way of conceiving the nation’s place in the world.

Key Points: 
  • UK foreign policy has long been shaped by a particular geopolitical way of conceiving the nation’s place in the world.
  • This island identity may have been forged in imperial times, but it remains hugely relevant in the post-Brexit world.
  • To be an island was to be democratic, sovereign, freedom-loving, mobile and a bastion of limitless and global free trade.

Your sovereign neighbour

    • The Falklands Conflict provided ample opportunity for Margaret Thatcher to restate a powerful island identity that she felt was becoming lost.
    • These impulses to define the UK as a sovereign, mobile, freedom-loving island helped politicians to navigate the huge changes that occurred since 1945.
    • Never more than lukewarm about Brexit, “Global Britain” was Theresa May’s attempt to name the UK’s posture after leaving the EU.
    • But in many ways, Global Britain is not about the present so much as the past and the future.

What is an island in the 21st century?

    • Yet there is far less unity about what it means to be an island in this fractious 21st century than there was during the imperial era.
    • Many historians have argued that the empire provided the glue between the constituent parts of the UK.
    • Without the empire or the EU, are we now seeing the true nature of a disunited Kingdom?
