英國透過歷史性的公投決定脫離歐盟震撼了全世界，同時伴隨著反全球化的浪潮，這引發了全世界對全球化的焦慮。本文檢視反全球化情緒與英國脫離歐盟之間的關聯，測試英國脫離歐盟是源自於支持全球化及反全球化的深度分歧之假設。研究問題環繞著個人及國家對全球化的態度，期望能挖掘出英國脫歐的明確因素，並分析全球化如何惡化立場的分歧。本研究採取質性研究方法，藉由半結構式深度訪談，蒐集了來自六位英國公民對於此次公投的經驗與理解，遵照主題分析法的詮釋循環原則進行檢核；最後，形成自然類別下的六主題，使我們對前述研究問題有更進一步的理解與對話。經由整理分析訪談本文後發現，全球化帶來的並非全然都是好處。此外，英國決定脫離歐盟其背後的因素相當複雜，但是非法移民問題是核心關鍵。因此，對於英國脫歐的研究，蒐集人民的看法才能描繪出英國脫歐的整體面，而不是僅依據公開資訊而遽下結論。

Britain’s decision to exit the European Union, known as Brexit, a historic referendum rattling the world along with the rise of anti-globalization movements triggers a certain anxiety over globalization. This thesis examines the nexus between anti-globalization sentiment and the result of Brexit to test the hypothesis that Brexit grew out of a deep divide between pro-globalization and anti-globalization. Research questions center around attitudes towards globalization in both individual and national factors to dig into the specific components of Brexit and analyze how globalization plays a role in exacerbating polarization.

The research is a qualitative study and dada collection is conducted through semi-structured in-depth interviews with six UK citizens. By using the hermeneutics methodology through the thematic analysis and intersubjective agreement with the interviewees, six essential themes were identified finally. Close analysis of the case study shows the conclusion of this dissertation is that Brexit representing the average Briton shows concerns for globalization. By looking closer at interviewees’ claims, the study’s findings illustrate the nuances pointing out the complexity of Brexit and anti-illegal immigration is the core factor leading to Brexit. Hence, this study shows that when investigating Brexit, we must not only look at the official information but also consider the smaller groupings as these also represent concerns that help draw a full image of Brexit.
