Description
Someone Else's Empire: A Cool Reassessment of Britain's Relationship with the US Tom Stevenson examines the assumptions behind Britain's position in the world and argues that elite descriptions of its influence are untenable. He looks at how British foreign policy decisions are driven by a desire to maintain a subordinate role to Washington, despite a reluctance among leaders and defence specialists to see themselves framed by American power. Stevenson assesses the infrastructure of a US world order re-energised by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and explores how Britain fits into this picture. He challenges the notion that maintaining military presence around the world is equivalent to maintaining one's own empire, but rather it is about serving someone else's interests. This book offers a fresh perspective on Britain's relationship with the US and its place in the world order.
