Inhaltsangabe

In this work, John Coles provides insights on the foreign policy process—how governments have struggled to come to terms with the country's changing circumstances in the second half of the 20th century, how policy is made today, and what foreign policy means at the close of the millennium. He gives his own view of the problems which obstruct good policy and offers his personal solutions. He also considers attempts that have been made to define a role for Britain overseas, arguing that the range and quality of British activity across the globe have much to do with our sense of "Britishness." He finds that the "Idea of Britain" is not as faded as its detractors may like to think.
