The alliance between Prime Ministers Jose Maria Aznar and Tony
Blair represented a crucial moment in recent European and World
politics, owing to the divisive nature of their support for the
United States in the wake of the terrorist attacks on 11 September
2001. The extent of their collaboration, combined with their
interventionist approach to tackling global threats, reflected an
unprecedented level of cooperation between Spain and the United
Kingdom. This book sets out to explain Aznar and Blairs foreign
policy and how they came to support the United States.
Understanding their relationship is imperative to explaining
divisions over European reform, intervention, tackling rogue
states, the response to 9/11, and the war on terrorism. This
critical period in world politics has been subject to significant
academic analysis, but the motivations behind the adoption of a
pro-US foreign policy by Aznar and Blair have hitherto not been
examined from a comparative perspective. Analysis uncovers factors
that have either been overlooked or understated in terms of their
influence throughout the AznarBlair relationship, particularly
regarding their alliance in the European Union before September
2001. This compelling comparative study is invaluable to explaining
how two leaders from different political backgrounds and traditions
became such close allies, and how they came to support US foreign
policy despite the pressures of deep divisions within the EU
political bloc. Published in association with the Canada Blanch
Centre for Contemporary Spanish Studies, LSE
