British Foreign and Defence Policy Since 1945

Beschreibung

Foreign policy has dominated successive governments' time in office and cast a consistently long shadow over British politics in the period since 1945. Robert Self provides a readable and incisive assessment of the key issues and events from the retreat from empire through the cold war period to Humanitarian Intervention and the debacle in Iraq.

• An accessible and detailed history of British foreign policy 
  
• Examines New Labour's record and, in particular, the consequence of Blair's pursuit of an ethical foreign policy and his commitment to humanitarian intervention 
  
• Considers key issues such as the Anglo-American 'special relationship', the UK's place in Europe, defence procurement and Britain's commitment to sustaining a nuclear deterrent
