Reihe: New Perspectives on the Right

This book analyses the elite project behind Brexit, and considers its framework within the political traditions of English nationalism. Far from being ‘Little Englanders’, Brexiteers sought to lessen the rupture of leaving the European Union by suggesting a return to alliances with true friends and traditional allies in the Anglosphere.
