This book examines the evolution of the Foreign Office in the 20th
century and the way in which it has responded to Britain's changing
role in international affairs. The last century was one of
unprecedented change in the way foreign policy and diplomacy were
conducted. The work of 'The Office' expanded enormously in the 20th
century, and oversaw the transition from Empire to Commonwealth,
with the merger of the Foreign and Colonial Offices taking place in
the 1960s.
The book focuses on the challenges posed by waging world war and
the process of peacemaking, as well as the diplomatic gridlock of
the Cold War. Contributions also discusses ways in which the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office continues to modernise to meet the
challenges of diplomacy in the 21st century.
This book was previously published as a special issue of the
journal Contemporary British History.
