Abstract

Brexit (British Exit) came at the middle of 2016 and resulted in Britain walk out from European Union (EU). Many saw the decision was a blunder, claiming Britain would lose economic gains from EU and reduce political mutual relations with the EU states. Yet, these recent years, Britain has been very active in conducting deeper beneficial relations with Asian states, as for 2015 the cooperation between The Republic of Ireland and China had valued 11,1 billion pounds and still rising. In 2016, England had deepened its relations with Indonesia by tightened the sister city cooperation between Liverpool and Surabaya. The two cities had agreed to open the England’s Visa Application Center in Surabaya. The opening had been driving people’s international mobility, especially Indonesian to come to Liverpool, England. The maneuver is believed to be a strategy to alter the Britain’s economic structure. Aiming Asian markets is believed could reduce the loss gained from the Brexit. This paper would explain how Britain anticipated the loss from Brexit by gaining profit from Asian markets. This paper uses the concept of paradiplomacy, sister city, and bilateral cooperation. The methodology used in this paper would be based on literatures combining with qualitative analysis on the data. This paper would be a small yet valuable explanation for affirming the Britain strategy in surviving the Brexit loss.
