Volume 17 in the established series of the "Prince Albert Studies"
contains 15 essays and an introductory chapter, reflecting the
themes and contents of a lecture programme held at the University
of Munich from 1996 to 1999. Eminent scholars from the United
Kingdom, all historians from leading British Universities, engaged
in "An Anglo-German Dialogue" in the presentation and discussion of
their lectures. These lectures provide a panoramic view of British
foreign relations over the last 150 years. Paying particular
attention to the Anglo-German dimension, the focus moves from the
British attitude to the 1848 revolutions, to Kaiser Wilhelm II's
relationship to England, right through to the policies of Margaret
Thatcher and Tony Blair towards Germany and Europe.
In the first part aspects of British policy towards Germany and
Europe in the mid and late nineteenth century are examined, while
in the second part the focus is on the role of monarchs in the
foreign policy. The third section deals with the nuances of British
reactions to various aspects of German attitudes and policies from
Gustav Stresemann's concept of international relations. The fourth
part has as its theme the contradictions and tensions in Britain's
retreat from the world stage. The final section, in examining
Britain and Europe since the end of the Second World War, brings
the story right up to date, including analysis of both the Labour
and Conservative parties' policies towards Europe.
