Britain and Defence 1945-2000: A Policy Re-evaluation

Britain and Defence is written by four specialists and focuses on British defence policy from 1945 to the present day. It surveys a broad array of subject areas including Britain's global and European commitments, its nuclear weapons policy, the management and politics of defence and the country's military procurement programme.

Features:
· Clear, thematic examination of Britain's defence policy ranging from its contribution to global order and European security to the politics of defence and procurement
· Provides an historical survey of British defence policy during the postwar period as well as an assessment of current government policies including the 1998 Strategic Defence Review
· Questions some of the traditional approaches to understanding British defence policy
· Investigates the priorities that may determine defence policy in the future

Written in an engaging and thought-provoking style, Britain and Defence will be a welcome new text for students studying British Politics and, in particular, British Defence Policy.
