How Boris Johnsons' Brexit policy effect future of European Union and can we say central European countries (such as Fance, Germany and Italy) will be more dominate in Union and set up a collaboration with European military forces against to Anglo-Saxon (USA and Britain) block?
Hello,
This is an interesting question. Concerning the first part, the worries for the two major economic powers in the EEC (namely Germany and France) are mainly focused on the business exchange treaties with the UK; there is no real concerns about the weakening of the political apparatus of the European Union, at least in short term. Consequentl, I don't see any potential changes in the hierarchy within the EU scheme. Then, when it comes to a possible military division between EU countries on one side and the U.K. and US on the other, this looks like a very unlikely scenario. The first reason being that this would imply most of EU countries getting out of NATO.
I hope this helps.
S.
The EU will be affected as an economic and political block. More cooperation, especially as far as political and economic issues, is expected between Britain and the USA. France and Germany will remain dominant in Brussels.
It is not easy to understand what has been the core of Brexit. It looks like very linked to a kind of enlarged isolationism a kind a"return to past". It is important to evaluate the forecast of the UK-US economic development. It is very critical to think that a large amount of UK trade will be towards the States, and viceversa. Germany and France, and Italy could represent a strong group, but it is not easy to create a military common force in few years. As someone said: England is a ship in a European harbour, always ready to remove the anchors anchors... as in these days. But when? and why not come back?

Dear Mehmet Babacan , both UK and Europe have good future and collaboration that is already running on.
This week’s UK government Budget represents a great opportunity to place tech and digital as the cornerstone of UK economic growth after Brexit
The tech sector has played a key role throughout the pandemic, from enabling office workers to transition quickly to remote working, to helping small businesses across the UK reach their customers when shops were closed. The tech sector will also be vital for economic recovery. Digital technology and innovation will be essential to drive the needed economic growth and productivity gains.
The best way to ensure a strong economic recovery is to prioritise tech-led growth across the whole of the UK...

Britain never liked the rest of Europe. Britons consider themselves the best in the area and they want to be the leaders. Since the rest of Europe do not recognize them this ambition, Britain will be alone and free to join USA. So, let them go.
Given the UK's economic policy is based on free trade and removing tariff barriers with other countries, I think it is lazy to say that Brexit is inward-looking. Statistically, the EU represents less then 15% of global GDP now the UK has left, so with the UK looking to trade much more with the other 85%, independent observers would actually think it quite the opposite. Plus, as the UK starts to sign trade deals with other countries that the Commission failed to sign trade deals with (e.g. US, India etc.), eurozone economic protectionism will probably start to look much more inward looking.

“The referendum [about leaving the European Union] gave licence to populism and authoritarianism because it was so ill defined and nobody knew what it meant and the people who took over the government used it to label any opposition ‘re-moaners’. “That’s what makes populism so dangerous. It is dictatorship in drag, authoritarianism dressed up as the will of the people and, of course, it isn’t. It’s just what powerful people determine it is and the tragedy of Brexit was that the referendum was so ill defined that it left open the door to wannabe autocrats to define it on the fly as it were...

UK researchers are optimistic that they will regain access to the European Union’s €95.5-billion (US$101-billion) Horizon Europe funding scheme, after a Brexit agreement on the status of Northern Ireland was reached earlier this week. The United Kingdom will rejoin as an ‘associate’ country, which gives scientists the same level of financial access as before Brexit but no say in what research fields will be prioritized in the programme’s next iteration. A couple of political hurdles remain, but the most difficult might be rebuilding the collaboration networks that have atrophied over the past few years...

Cannot detect any collaboration of European military forces against an Anglo-Saxon (USA and Britain) block as you do ask Mehmet Babacan With Britain out of the EU, economic gravity will move more to the center of the continent, which will also depend on the outcome of the current military and ideological confrontation in Ukraine. The Brexit itself was, imo, mainly motivated or reinforced by the totally uncontrolled mass migrations into the territory of the European Union around 2015. With respect to the political architecture of the EU, dear Mehmet Babacan , we will either see prudent amendments or gradual dissolution. In this sense, every great idea like the EU has to be improved by intelligent practices, which can conter the natural forces of increasing social entropy, in physical terms of the political economy on the European continent.
