Claims of inter-state 'specialness' are commonplace in
international politics. But how do some relationships between
states come to be seen and categorized as 'special' in the first
place? And what impact, if any, do recurring public representations
of specialness have on states' political and diplomatic
interaction? While much scholarly work exists on alleged instances
of special relationships, and on inter-state cooperation and
alliances more generally, little systematic and theory informed
research has been conducted on how special relationships evolve and
unfold in practice. This book offers such a comprehensive study.
Theorizing inter-state relations as ongoing social processes, it
makes the case for approaching special relationships as constituted
and upheld through linguistic representations and bilateral
interaction practices. Haugevik explores this claim through an
in-depth study of how the bilateral relationship most frequently
referred to as 'special' - the US-British - has unfolded over the
last seventy years. This analysis is complemented with a study of
Britain's relationship with a more junior partner, Norway, during
the same period. The book offers an original take on inter-state
relations and diplomacy during the Cold War and after, and develops
an analytical framework for understanding why some state
relationships maintain their status as 'special', while others end
up as 'benignly neglected' ones.
