metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article raises the question of the place of Tropical Africa in the system of British foreign
  policy priorities before and after Brexit. It is shown that the African continent traditionally
  played an important role in the colonial empire of the United Kingdom, and its importance
  only intensified under the conditions of decolonization and the Cold War, which was
  demonstrated by the first visit in the colonial history of the country of the British leader of
  H. Macmillan to Africa south of the Sahara in February 1960 (“Year of Africa”) and drawing
  attention to the future of the continent in connection with the acquisition of sovereign
  status by the colonies. However, after this tour, the weakening of Britain’s ties with the
  continent in the trade, economic, political and other spheres gradually began to occur, and
  only after the Brexit referendum on June 23, 2016, the UK announced a reset of relations
  within the loud slogan and foreign policy line “Global Britain”. In August 2018, Prime
  Minister T. May made a large-scale visit to the key countries of Tropical Africa, similar to
  H. Macmillan’s trip in terms of numbers, status and intentions, on the eve of the completion
  of a series of negotiations with the European Union and the country’s withdrawal
  from it. In addition to analyzing two of the British leaders’ trips, the article raises important
  contemporary questions about the incompleteness of decolonization, the future of
  development policy, and the overall prospects for the UK’s relationship with sub-Saharan
  Africa. Attention is also paid to the economic aspects of interaction between the parties
  and the updated priorities of Britain in the context of the pandemic and the challenges of
  European and global security under the influence of a new configuration of the system of
  international relations.
