Book excerpt: A major review of New Labour's foreign policy from leading experts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Labour came to power in 1997 promising to modernize Britain and its role in the world. Tony Blair and Gordon Brown made ambitious pledges and launched bold policy initiatives. After thirteen years during which Britain became mired in divisive and costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, New Labour's early promises€came to resemble€little more than the cynical political 'spin' which the government was so often accused of producing. Criticised as a poodle to the US and a deeply divisive presence in the European Union, where did it go so badly wrong for New Labour's conduct of foreign policy? This book provides a fresh and challenging perspective on British foreign policy during the New Labour years, 1997-2010. The collection is themed around the development of a brand new model of British foreign policy in three interlocking circles: Identity, Ethics and Power. The contributors are as one in arguing that the conceptual basis of British foreign policy action needs a more radical overhaul than New Labour either promised or provided. €.--Résumé de l'éditeur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a penetrating new study of the Labour Party’s thinking on international relations, which probes the past, present and future of the party’s approach to the international stage. The foreign policy of the Labour Party is not only neglected in most histories of the party, it is also often considered in isolation from the party’s origins, evolution and major domestic preoccupations. Yet nothing has been more divisive and more controversial in Labour’s history than the party’s foreign and defence policies and their relationship to its domestic programme. Much more has turned on this than the generation of tempestuous conference debates. Labour’s credentials as a credible prospect for Governmental office were thought to depend on a responsible approach to foreign and defence policy. Its exclusion from office was often said to stem from a failure to meet this test, as in the 1950s. The composition of Labour Cabinets was powerfully influenced by foreign and defence considerations, as was the centralization of power and decision-making within Labour Governments. The domestic achievements and failures of these periods in office were inextricably connected to international questions. The Labour Party and Foreign Policy is recommended for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in British politics and European history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important new study provides a critical analysis of the foreign policies conducted during the first two terms of Tony Blair's government. It focuses upon the government's key foreign policy commitments; three of its most important international relationships (with the US, the European Union, and Africa); and how Blair's government dealt with five fundamental policy issues (political economy, defence, international development, intervention, and Iraq). It argues that throughout this period Labour's foreign policies attempted to paper over some important contradictions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legacy of Blair and the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan continue to loom large for the Labour Party, whether in opposition or in government, giving rise to fierce debates over Labour's attitude and posture towards the wider world. This book considers the idea of Labour's international identity, examining how world events and Labour's response to them have helped to shape ideology, political culture and domestic agendas from the 1920s until the Iraq War. It provides a fascinating and original exploration of Labour both on the world stage and at home - from the influence of the Soviet Union on political thought in the interwar years to the international student revolts of the 1960s, and from media in the 1990s to Kosovo and New Labour Interventionism. This is essential reading for scholars of modern British politics, as well as anyone interested in the motivations and influences behind the Labour Party's actions on the world stage.
