This book explores the links between the British government and the
dictatorships of Argentina and Chile, 1973-82, using newly-opened
British archives. It gives the most complete picture to date of
British arms sales, military visits and diplomatic links with the
Argentine and Chilean military regimes before the Falklands war. It
also provides new evidence that Britain had strategic and economic
interests in the Falkland Islands and was keen to exploit the oil
around the Islands. It looks at the impact of private corporations
and social movements, such as the Chile Solidarity Campaign and
human rights groups, on foreign policy. By analyzing the social
background of British diplomats and tracing the informal social
networks between government officials and the private sector, it
considers the pro-business biases of state officials. It describes
how the Foreign Office tried to dissuade the Labour governments of
1974-79 from imposing sanctions on the Pinochet regime in Chile and
discusses whether un-elected officials place constraints on
politicians aiming to pursue an 'ethical' foreign policy.
