This article analyzes the new foreign and foreign economic strategy of Great Britain aimed at integrating into the international community and searching for new avenues of cooperation. The author concludes that after leaving the European Union (a decision made by referendum in 2016 and implemented in 2020), the country remained committed to the idea of integration cooperation and was therefore prepared to join a new‑generation international integration project – the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). Although this move was fully consistent with the new “Global Britain” course (formed between 2016 and 2021), it proved far from straightforward. The main issue is the obvious imbalance in economic cooperation between Britain and the countries of Europe, the United States, and China, on the one hand, and the countries participating in the TPP, on the other. Even with an advanced economy such as Japan, trade with Britain remains rather moderate in value terms. Undoubtedly, through participation in a new‑generation international integration project such as the TPP, the country aims to bring its trade and economic ties with participating countries to a new level in the future. However, it is not only the desire to expand its economic presence globally that has drawn Britain to the Asia‑Pacific region. Active participation in the AUKUS alliance also indicates Britain’s attempt to expand its geostrategic agenda onto a global scale. At the same time, questions remain as to whether Britain has its own distinct strategy for these initiatives or whether it will act in full solidarity with US policy.
