Hug Them Close: Blair, Clinton, Bush and the 'Special Relationship' - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

British Prime Minister Tony Blair is often derided as "Bush's poodle" for his willingness to hew to U.S. foreign policy. However, for Riddell (assistant editor of The Times , UK), this is demonstration that Blair's relations with the United States "are one of the most misunderstood aspects of his premiership." He examines Blair's close relations with the Clinton and Bush administrations and discusses its impact on European relations. Mixing reporting with analysis, he suggests that Blair's behavior in relation to the United States is based on the historically close relations between the two countries, a real concern by Blair over so-called "weapons of mass destruction," and a belief that Britain can make the U.S. more responsive to the demands of multilateralism.
