Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyse the new foreign policy focus of the British Government
in a post-Brexit world. While the new approach, presented in the Parliament in 2021,
known as “Global Britain in a competitive age”, may seem somewhat distant from the
globalized world of the 21st century and more appealing to the imperialist past of the
island nation, the truth can be far from that. Relations with the European Union may be
colder than what they used to be, but the world does not end with the Mediterranean or
the Urals. In this paper, I will attempt to answer the question regarding Britain’s place in
the world and whether or not it is capable of displaying power while taking advantage of
its old network of allies.
