Arena Journal no. 28

Abstract:

A suggestion that globalization might indirectly lead to the disintegration of the imperial union of the United Kingdom of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland founded in 1707, is presented. Britain’s unpopular involvement in the Iraq War could instigate the other nations in the union to break away and follow the principles of free trade independently, without paying allegiance to the Crown.
