Britain without the EU: A damp and dismal future / Jolyon Howorth
European Policy Centre, 15 January 2013
An EU without the UK would be able to move steadily forward towards becoming a functioning and increasingly federal-looking entity. A ‘Brexit’ would also force Britons to engage in a long-delayed period of historical self-examination that would most likely culminate in its reapplying to join the new-look EU
Can the EU have a foreign and security policy without Britain? A grim and insular picture of the future / Rosa Balfour
European Policy Centre, 18 January 2013
Even if Britain were to leave the European Union, it would want to cooperate with the EU on select issues (of its choice, of course). But if things do change on the continent and move towards more integrated international policies, it would be harder for Britain to influence and shape such polices

Militating against withdrawal from the European Union would be the inevitable loss of influence in international trade negotiations and international relations generally. However, a full examination of the likely costs to the United Kingdom of leaving the Union is beyond the scope of this article. Its focus is rather upon the third possible course of action, namely continuing as a Member State of the Union.
