On the one hand, without the EU's international relations, Britain is economically and socially vulnerable. While Britain's exit from the EU may define the UK's power according to British citizens, the type of power that matters is relative power, i.e. power when compared to other states. If other states do not recognize Britain as a powerful force, its exit from the EU will be pointless. On the other hand, by cutting off EU benefits, Britain is giving up assistance that could have helped the country become more powerful. In other words, Brexit reduces the source of power gathering for Britain, as the EU not only offers economic opportunities, but also provides useful information so that member states can behave accordingly. Overall, realism suggests that while Brexit increases Britain's confidence in its own power, it somewhat diminishes the country's power. In the context of liberalism, there are not many benefits of Brexit that can be analysed, especially since liberalism believes in the efficiency of international organizations or the EU. However, liberalism might argue in favor of Brexit that the decision to leave the EU allows Britain to regain its sovereignty, because joining an international system reduces a state's sovereignty due to international regimes or laws that the system proposes. By relying less on the Union, Britain will be able to take independent initiatives
