The Master Thesis focuses on the development of the role and position of the United Kingdom with regards to the EU's Common security and defence policy. Main research aim is to analyse the position of the United Kingdom towards the topic of European security and defence co-operation. Moreover, the thesis analyses how the role of the UK has changed over last decades. The theoretical part of the thesis pays particular attention to the theory of liberal intergovernmentalism, developed by the American political scientist and specialist on European integration Andrew Moravcsik. The assumptions of LI are tested with regards to the ESDP/CSDP with respect to the UK. The development of CSDP and the role of UK represent an essential object of the thesis. The research part of the thesis aims to analyse the preferences of the British governments since 1997. Two specific periods are chosen, the era of New Labour government, and the government of the Conservative party. Lastly, the thesis deals with the effects of Brexit on the CSDP.

In this thesis I would like to focus on the development of the role and position of the United Kingdom with regards to Common security and defence policy of the EU. Main research questions of this thesis are "What role did the UK represent in the CSDP? Has the UK's attitude towards the CSDP changed from its inception to the present? What impact can the UK's decision to leave the European Union's structures has on the EU's common security and defense policy? What are the possible perspectives for the development of CSDP in the EU without UK?” The thesis will be divided into several main parts, namely the theoretical and research part. The theoretical part of the thesis outlines the development of CSDP and the role of UK. It will also focus on decision-making mechanisms within this policy by using theories of European integration. In the theoretical part, the work will pay particular attention to the theory of liberal intergovernmentalism, developed by the American political scientist and specialist on European integration Andrew Moravcsik. In the research part, the work will be divided into several subchapters, which will deal with individual UK governments chronologically since 1997. These governments were led by the following prime ministers: Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Theresa May.
