THE UK IN EUROPEAN INTEGRATION AFTER THE BREXIT REFERENDUM AND THE LEAVING PROCESS

The United Kingdom, whose view of European integration has developed differently due to historical, geographical, economic and political reasons, initially did not want to become a member of the European Economic Community (EEC), which is now known as the European Union (EU). After the referendum, the government established under the premiership of Theresa May initiated the process of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. In this study, the background of Brexit with its historical and current aspects and the progress and completion of the separation process that started after the referendum in our modern period are analyzed.
