EUROPEAN IDENTITY AND SECURITY IN POST-BREXIT AGE: A POSSIBLE MODEL NEOPOSTNAPOLEONIC?

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we propose to assess the possible anticipatory European identity and security context in the post-Brexit age. In this context, based on the concept of theory neomedievalist of English School, we tried to support the hypothesis that UK out of the EU club could lead to resize identity and security European architecture, in a similar manner as the type congress / European concert, established after the defeat of France in the Napoleonic Wars. The research objective is to identify similarities / differences between the two factual historical and security contexts on the continent, which are able to support the previous hypothesis. Quadrilateral power (Russia, Prussia, Austria, England) in Europe established after the Congress of the Holy Alliance, could be replicated in a similar quadrangle after a new E.U. treaty that would reshape E.U. after Brexit, quadrilateral composed of European powers that were favorable to the project said two-speed Europe (Germany, France, Italy, Spain). Therefore, a set of conditions similar postnapoleonic context could create prerequisites of identity construction and security type neopostnapolenic, but supplemented by functional integration problems.
