Description

British foreign policy has had a significant impact on global politics over the last two decades, despite Britain's relatively small material resources. This comprehensive introduction to British foreign policy today explores how a small island nation continues to exercise this level of power internationally.

The book examines the main actors and processes involved in British foreign policy-making, as well as the role played by identity in shaping such choices. It also looks at the relationship between economics and foreign policy, what it means to be ethical in this policy sphere, and the justification for and benefits of the UK's continued use of force.

Combining interview research, theoretical insight and analysis of contemporary and historical trends, this book provides a detailed understanding of how British foreign policy has come to be understood and practised in the 21st Century. It will be an invaluable guide for students of British politics, foreign policy, international relations and related courses.
