Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the issue of Great Britain’s EU membership in the context of the challenges faced by the internal and foreign policies of the U.K. Using the notion of an integration dilemma, the author indicates the tensions that result from the requirements, opportunities and consequences of a national state’s membership in an integrational structure. In Great Britain, the integration dilemma concerns the origin of the decision to join the EU and the impact of EU membership on the political system of the state. In this context the author presents the European activities of Great Britain, mainly in the realm of struggling for an intergovernmental nature of integration and the priority of national interest in the multi-faceted European environment.
