The war on terror has shaped and defined the first decade of the
twenty-first century, yet analyses of Britain's involvement remain
limited and fragmentary. This book provides a comprehensive
analysis of these developments. It argues that New Labour's support
for a militaristic campaign was driven by a desire to elevate
Britain's influence on the world stage, and to assist the United
States in a new imperialist project of global reordering.
Ostensibly set within a political framework of promoting
humanitarian values, the government's conduct in the war on terror
also proved to be largely counter-productive, eroding trust between
the citizenry and the state, putting the armed forces under
increasing strain and ultimately exacerbating the threat from
radical Islamic terrorism. This book will be of interest to
teachers and scholars of British foreign policy, international
relations and security studies. It will also appeal to anyone
interested in Britain's role in the war on terror. -- .
