Britain's participation in the Iraq war defines one of the most
tumultuous periods in its political history. Driven by a desire to
enhance the influence of the British government on the world stage,
the decision to support the US-led invasion has severely disrupted
the stability of international relations, produced rising
disenchantment with the domestic political process, and has
threatened to undermine the continued viability of the New Labour
project. Yet these developments are also indicative of a far-deeper
malaise. The events surrounding the war have clearly exposed the
flaws and weaknesses that are inherent within the British
democratic system. A deep-seated adherence to a top-down style of
policy-making at the expense of more participatory and accountable
forms of governance has been amplified by the internal structures
of the New Labour government itself. The consequences have left an
indelible mark on Britain's political landscape that will endure
for many years.
