The roots of the new nationalism in Britain and the exit from the European Union

The European Unionhas faced many challenges in recent years such as Brexit. There have been various analyses about the UK parliament's decision to leave European Union (Brexit) since the referendum of 2016. Most analyses emphasize on the consequences of inequalities arising from political economics, globalization, European integration and the problem of migrants. But this study believes that the advent of neo-nationalism in Britain has something to do with the Brexit. Historical roots and cultural and identity heritages are essential variables in Brexit, which most analyses ignore them. This paper deals with the supposition of neo-nationalism in the UK and based on this assumption answers this question: Which factors have an effect on the advent of neo-nationalism supposition in the UK? The hypothesis this study tries to make it intersubjective is that economic crises, immigration and social and economic gaps arising from globalization, having highlighted the identity bonds and historical – cultural heritage among social forces, lead to the advent of neo-nationalism in Europe and the representation of it against unionism. The method used in this paper involves explanation of neo-nationalism and then clarifying the factors leading to the supposition of nationalism in the UK.
