Summary/Abstract: The surprising vote on Brexit brought forward somber perspectives on the evolution of European security policies. As the United Kingdom has long been a great contributor to security policies, both within NATO and with the feeble European Union policy in the field, its future absence from the European security framework has led many to believe that the Union shall be deprived of a significant actor, one that would have helped it advance significantly. This is highly important as European Union security was in the making, aiming towards a consolidation of its stance among global actors in the field. Thus, the deprival of British military and security expertise and resources shall be strongly experienced.
