Britain and the World since 1945 (Paperback)

This "Seminar Studies" title is a succinct study of modern British foreign policy, focusing on the period from 1945 to the present day. Since the end of the Second World War, Britain has been engaged in international conflicts from the Suez Crisis to the Gulf War and has actively sought involvement in transnational and global affairs.

Starting with a brief overview of the rise and fall of the British Empire and continuing chronologically with detailed chapters covering the second half of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first, Alasdair Blair discusses the highs and lows of British foreign policy in an accessible yet analytical manner. Dealing with themes such as the issues triggered by decolonisation and the changing relationship between Britain and Europe, this text considers the pivotal moments in modern Britain s engagement with the wider world.

Included in this title are supporting materials, such as a chronology of important events from 1945, a Who s Who of key government figures and a collection of relevant primary sources. Thorough yet concise, "Britain and the World since 1945" is the ideal resource for students interested in the development of British foreign policy."
