Britannien und der Brexit." She argues that Brexit showed a deep identity crisis of the British society. „The author manages to offer a comprehensive psychogram of the British nation“, writes a reviewer in the German weekly "Der Freitag". The loss of the British Empire could never be properly compensated, Szyszkowitz writes, especially not with a Union of 28 Member States - among which the United Kingdom was only one of many natons with euqal rights. The consequences of Brexit should not be underestimated, the author argues:  „Everything holy to British people is being questioned because of the exit from the European Union. Democracy, parliament, tolerance and even the proverbial calm. Old certainties are not relevant any longer. The Brexit-vote 2016 showed that British people are not sure anymore who they are“, Szyszkowitz writes. A reviewer in the German daily "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" agrees: „The conclusions of the author are logical and correct.“ Szyszkowitz also contributes to Carnegie Europe and the Royal United Services Institute for Security and Defence Studies.
