Brexit and Its Consequences for the European Union and Member States, With Particular Emphasis on the Visegrad Group Countries: A Neorealist Analysis

Abstract

This article focuses on analysing the consequences of Brexit for the European Union and its Member States, with particular emphasis on the Visegrad Group (V4) countries. Through the prism of neorealism theory, the changes in the balance of power and international dynamics resulting from Great Britain’s exit from the EU are analysed. The aim is not only to identify specific Brexit outcomes but also to understand the mechanisms influencing relations among European states, especially in the future. In this context, neorealist analysis becomes a particularly valuable tool, allowing us to view Brexit not only as a one-time incident but also as a manifestation of broader trends in global international relations which may adopt disintegrative stances in the future.
