This book provides a penetrating new study of the Labour Party's
thinking on international relations, which probes the past, present
and future of the party's approach to the international stage. The
foreign policy of the Labour Party is not only neglected in most
histories of the party, it is also often considered in isolation
from the party's origins, evolution and major domestic
preoccupations. Yet nothing has been more divisive and more
controversial in Labour's history than the party's foreign and
defence policies and their relationship to its domestic programme.
Much more has turned on this than the generation of tempestuous
conference debates. Labour's credentials as a credible prospect for
Governmental office were thought to depend on a responsible
approach to foreign and defence policy. Its exclusion from office
was often said to stem from a failure to meet this test, as in the
1950s. The composition of Labour Cabinets was powerfully influenced
by foreign and defence considerations, as was the centralization of
power and decision-making within Labour Governments. The domestic
achievements and failures of these periods in office were
inextricably connected to international questions. The Labour Party
and Foreign Policy is recommended for undergraduate and
postgraduate courses in British politics and European history.
