Britain has been a significant voice in global politics in the last
two decades and its impact on world events far outweighs its
material resources. But how does a small island on the edge of
Europe continue to exercise this level of power on an international
scale? What kind of actor is Britain internationally? And what
future challenges will confront British foreign policymakers in a
multi-polar world of emerging powers?In this comprehensive
introduction to British foreign policy today Jamie Gaskarth
addresses these and other key questions. Against a rich historical
backdrop, he examines the main actors and processes involved in
British foreign policy-making as well as the role played by
identity in shaping such choices. Later chapters focus on the
relationship between economics and foreign policy, what it means to
be ethical in this policy sphere, and the justification for and
benefits of the UK's continued use of force to achieve its foreign
policy goals. Combining interview research, theoretical insight and
analysis of contemporary and historical trends, this book charts
how British foreign policy has come to be understood and practised
in the 21st Century. It will be an invaluable guide for students of
British politics, foreign policy, international relations and
related courses.
