Informed by Winston Churchill's famous metaphor, successive British
governments have shaped their foreign policy thinking around the
belief that Britain's overseas interests lie in three interlocking
'circles': in Europe, in the Commonwealth, and in the 'special
relationship' across the Atlantic. Recent administrations may have
updated the language in terms of 'bridges', 'hubs' and 'networks',
but the notion of Britain as somehow at the centre of things
remains a vital idea. In this updated edition of a classic text,
David Sanders and David Patrick Houghton examine British foreign
policy since 1945 through the prism of these three circles. Taking
account of major developments from the ending of the Cold War,
through 9/11 and the so-called War on Terror, to Britain's historic
decision to leave the European Union, it provides a masterly
account of Britain's changing place in the world and of the policy
calculations and deeper structural factors that help explain
changes in strategy. Combining chronological narrative with careful
consideration of the main theories of foreign policy analysis and
international relations, this book provide a reliable and
comprehensive introduction to the evolution of British external
policy, including economic and defence policy, in the postwar
period. Characterized by its accessible style and depth of
analysis, and now fully updated in line with 21st century
developments, Losing an Empire, Finding a Role will remain an
invaluable guide to British foreign policy for students of
international relations or foreign policy at any level.<
