根据国家身份认同的两大理论,身份认同主要是一种基于主观的自我认同的产物。英国的国家身份认同,仍然存在较明显的问题,但均可从历史进程中找到其源流。但是,这个全称为大不列颠及爱尔兰联合王国的国家,之所以能够得到较长时间(1707—1922)的维系,存在着内外两方面的原因。二战之后,英国地位的巨大变化,对国家身份认同产生了新的影响。对于英国国家身份认同及其国家发展前途的展望,笔者认为在欧盟一体化程度不断提高的情况下,随着成员国的主权让渡的增加、国家作用的下降以及地区影响力的上升,包括英国在内的欧盟成员国的国家身份认同会进一步下降。 According to the two theories of national identity, identity is mainly a product based on subjective self-identity. There are still some obvious problems in British national identity, but both can be found from the historical process. However, the reason why the country, which is fully known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, can be maintained for a longer period of time (1707-1922) is due to both internal and external causes. After World War II, the tremendous changes in the status of Britain have had a new impact on the identity of the country. With regard to the identity recognition of the UK and the prospect of its national development, the author believes that with the continuous improvement of EU integration, with the increase of the transfer of sovereignty of member states, the decline of the role of the state and the rising influence of the region, Including the EU member states will further decline in national identity.
