Subject
The United Kingdom’s post-Brexit foreign policy.
Significance
A recent public disagreement between Prime Minister Theresa May and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has shed light on an evolving series of tensions surrounding the overall direction of the United Kingdom’s foreign policy in light of the referendum decision to leave the EU.
Impacts
The short-term coherence of UK foreign policy may be unclear to international actors.
The sense of uncertainty triggered by Brexit is likely to extend over the coming years.
Scottish independence would diminish the United Kingdom’s importance as an international actor even further.
