This groundbreaking study offers a genuinely multidisciplinary
exploration of cultural influences on foreign policy. Through an
innovative blend of historical analysis, neoclassical realist
theory, and cultural studies, Amelia Hadfield-Amkhan shows how
national identity has been a catalyst for British foreign policy
decisions, helping the state to both define and defend itself.
Representing key points of crisis from the past two centuries, her
case studies include the 1882 attempt to construct a channel tunnel
to France, the frantic 1909 Dreadnought race with Germany, the 1982
Falklands War with Argentina, and the 2003 decision to remain
outside the Eurozone. The author argues that these events, marking
the decline of a great power, have forced Britain's society and
government into periods of deep self-reflection that are carved
into its culture and etched into its policy stances on central
issues of sovereignty, territorial integrity, international
recognition, and even monetary policy.
