Omschrijving
This work explores developing trends and underlying assumptions of British Defence Policy, placing policy developments post 11 September in a wider context, and assessing the impact of key personalities and events on a range of issues. It provides a relevant and up-to-date assessment of this vital policy area.
'This book provides a welcome, comprehensive, and clearly written analysis of the key directions of defence policy during the premiership of Tony Blair. It will enhance understanding of a policy area which acquired special significance due to the military operations undertaken by the British in Sierra Leone, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan.' Paul Robinson, University of Ottawa, Canada '...a thorough examination of British defence policy under New Labour at a time when the ’war on terror’ approaches its second decade and the nature, role and utility of the UK military instrument is under intense scrutiny. Severe constraints on public finances will force difficult choices in defence policy that will benefit immeasurably from the clear analysis this book provides.' Nick Ritchie, University of Bradford, UK '... invaluable for the expert audience... All of the twelve chapters are well-researched, strongly argued and informative. ... The Development of British Defence Policy is surely set to be a fixture on the reading lists of those studying British foreign policy, military strategy or British politics. Additionally, the contributions of Forster, Deakin and Haines are likely to be of interest to the more general reader.' British Politics and Policy at LSE blog
