Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Foreign Policy Since the World War It is inconceivable that a modern war which was of more than four years duration and which involved all the great nations and many of the lesser nations of the world should leave a powbility, in spite of the efforts of conservatives and reactionaries, of restor ing just as it was the old order of society, economics and politics. Many forces that are too weak to demand consideration before a war are given by an upheaval such as the world experienced from 1914 to 1918, a power that can not be disregarded. Old social and political forces may be deflected from their former courses, or trans formed, or even strengthened, by war. It is to be expected, there fore, that a post-war period should be marked by a conflict between the old, which was not entirely destroyed, and the new, which rises to proclaim the failure of the mien regime and to challenge the supremacy of the old order. A study of the aims, the ideals and the methods which determined the conduct of the foreign policy of one of the world's Great Powers during the first decade following the World War serves to confirm this statement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of British Foreign Policy: From the Earliest Times to 1912 But I think the time has come for some such presentation of British foreign policy as a whole, and for an account of the continuous develop ment of that policy. It has often been necessary for Great Britain to prefer isolation to unsatisfactory alliances. On certain well-known crises in European history, however, the active intervention of England on the continent, in the interests of the European world no less than in that of England herself, has been demanded. The attempt of Philip Valois in conjunction with the Count of Flanders to destroy the trade between Flanders and England would, if success ful, have established French predominance over the Netherlands. This attempt was one of the causes of the Hundred Years' War. In the sixteenth century it was not till the danger of Holland falling into the hands of Philip II. Became imminent that Elizabeth took definite action. Again, about a hundred and fifteen years later, the seizure of the Barrier Towns by Louis XIV.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Foreign Policy of Great Britain The field of English history has been of late so vastly enlarged that it has become necessary to supply the public with numerous supplementary works dealing with its special departments. The present volume, commenced some years ago, attempts to trace one of these continuous threads in the warp of the history, and to draw it out, as far as possible, distinct from the general story of the nation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Home and Foreign Policy Ere this, industries have been prostrated, nay, annihilated, without any such results, and it was the height of folly, if not ignorance, to believe that thirty millions of British and forty mill ions of French were to rush into all the horrors of war for a few bales of Cotton; a calamity which in the course of nature, the army worm or caterpillar might have as well brought on. Distrustful as we are, not of the British people, but of the Brit ish government, we must state that England, which cannot be starved into war or even recognition by the want of Omtou, came never nearer making a hostile diversion in our favor as when the Pirate Wilkes insulted her ag by the seizure of Messrs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foreign Policy of Great Britain These articles had been inspired by the reading of the British White Book. They were the object of fierce denunciations but of very little intelligent criticism. When both the British and Canadian Governments decided to republish that valuable document and distribute it broadcast throughout the Empire and the world at large, it never came to my mind that the duty of all loyal British subjects was to read it through the spectacles of jingoism and to draw therefrom only such conclusions as suited Imperialists and jingoes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foreign Policy of Sir Edward Grey 1906-1915 It is a characteristic of British politics that, even in times of crisis, there are always men to be found who will criticize severely their country's action and expound sympathetically the case for their country's enemies. I think we may well be proud of this characteristic. It is one that could only be found in a community which is highly civilized; whose heart is set on honourable dealing and not merely on success, and whose citizens in general trust one another and are free from panic. For these few who protest are not traitors, and no sensible person ever thinks they are. They may be right or wrong on the main issue; their motives may vary from the purest love of justice to divers degrees of prejudice or pigheadedness or personal pique. But they are never guilty, and never seriously suspected, of either treachery or corruption. No government ever persecutes them. No mob seriously maltreats them. They are unpopular, but nothing more. And certainly the present writer would be among the very last to judge any one harshly for being 'the friend of every country but his own.' He has too often been called that name himself, and has been proud of it. He is not going to blame any one for being 'pro-German' in the only sense in which the term can be fairly used; that is, of being anxious to state the case for Germany as clearly and fairly as possible, and to help us to understand our enemies. In the other sense, in the sense of wishing the Germans to win the war, there are, I believe, no pro-Germans among the sane inhabitants of Great Britain.

Download or read book The Future of British Foreign Policy written by Christopher Hill and published by Polity. This book was released on 2019-03-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1945, Britain has had to cope with a slow descent from international primacy. The decline in global influence was intended to be offset by the United Kingdom’s entry into Europe in 1975, with the result that national foreign policy came to rest on the two pillars of the Atlantic alliance and the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the EU. Yet, with Brexit, one of these pillars is now being removed, leaving Britain facing some serious challenges arising from the prospect of independence. In this incisive book, Christopher Hill explores what lies ahead for British foreign policy in the shadows of Brexit and a more distant and protectionist America under Donald Trump. While there is much talk of a renewed global profile for the UK, Hill cautions that this is going to be difficult to turn into practical reality. Geography, history and limited resources mean that Britain is doomed to seek a continued foreign policy partnership with the Member States of the Union – only now it will be from outside the room looking in. As a result, there is the distinct possibility that both British and European foreign policies will end up worse off as the result of their divorce.

This book was released on 1987-09-17 with total page 858 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize With deft portraits of many world figures, Dean Acheson analyzes the processes of policy making, the necessity for decision, and the role of power and initiative in matters of state. Acheson (1893–1971) was not only present at the creation of the postwar world, he was one of its chief architects. He joined the Department of State in 1941 as Assistant Secretary of State for Economic Affairs and, with brief intermissions, was continuously involved until 1953, when he left office as Secretary of State at the end of the Truman years. Throughout that time Acheson's was one of the most influential minds and strongest wills at work. It was a period that included World War II, the reconstruction of Europe, the Korean War, the development of nuclear power, the formation of the United Nations and NATO. It involved him at close quarters with a cast that starred Truman, Roosevelt, Churchill, de Gaulle, Marshall, MacArthur, Eisenhower, Attlee, Eden Bevin, Schuman, Dulles, de Gasperi, Adenauer, Yoshida, Vishinsky, and Molotov.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of British Foreign Policy written by Peter Neville and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2013-03-22 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British foreign policy has always been based on distinctive principles since the setting up of the Foreign Office in 1782 as one of the two original offices of state, the other being the Home Office. As a small island nation, Britain was historically fearful of over mighty continental powers, which might seek to menace its trade routes, and naval primacy was essential. Britain must dominate at sea while avoiding, involvement in major continental wars and Britain accomplished this successfully until the end of the 19th century. After World War II and the Cold War Britain was no longer the global naval super power and they had to adapt to a secondary, supportive role. This was to be based on its membership of regional defense and economic organizations in Europe. The Historical Dictionary of British Foreign Policy provides an overview of the conduct of British diplomacy since the setting up of the Foreign Office in 1782. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, an extensive bibliography, and over 300 cross-referenced dictionary entries on British prime ministers, foreign secretaries, foreign office staff and leading diplomats, but also on related military and political-economic aspects. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about British foreign policy.

Download or read book Losing an Empire Finding a Role written by David Sanders and published by Red Globe Press. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Informed by Winston Churchill's famous metaphor, successive British governments have shaped their foreign policy thinking around the belief that Britain's overseas interests lie in three interlocking 'circles': in Europe, in the Commonwealth, and in the 'special relationship' across the Atlantic. Recent administrations may have updated the language in terms of 'bridges', 'hubs' and 'networks', but the notion of Britain as somehow at the centre of things remains a vital idea. In this updated edition of a classic text, David Sanders and David Patrick Houghton examine British foreign policy since 1945 through the prism of these three circles. Taking account of major developments from the ending of the Cold War, through 9/11 and the so-called War on Terror, to Britain's historic decision to leave the European Union, it provides a masterly account of Britain's changing place in the world and of the policy calculations and deeper structural factors that help explain changes in strategy. Combining chronological narrative with careful consideration of the main theories of foreign policy analysis and international relations, this book provide a reliable and comprehensive introduction to the evolution of British external policy, including economic and defence policy, in the postwar period. Characterized by its accessible style and depth of analysis, and now fully updated in line with 21st century developments, Losing an Empire, Finding a Role will remain an invaluable guide to British foreign policy for students of international relations or foreign policy at any level.“br> New to this Edition: - Updated coverage of events, including 'the War on Terror' and Brexit - Reformulated analysisto cover the updates inscholarship
