This is the second book in a unique two-volume study tracing the evolution of the Labour Party`s foreign policy throughout the 20th century to the present date. This is the first comprehensive study of the history of the Labour Party`s worldview and foreign policy. It argues that Labour`s foreign policy perspective should be seen not as the development of a socialist foreign policy, but as an application of the ideas of liberal internationalism. Volume Two provides a critical analysis of Labour`s foreign policy since 1951. It examines Labour`s attempts to rethink foreign policy, focusing on intra-party debates, the problems that Labour faced when in power, and the conflicting pressures from party demands and external pressures. It examines attitudes to rearmament in the 1950s, the party`s response to the Suez crisis and the Vietnam War, the bitter divisions over nuclear disarmament and the radicalisation of foreign and defence policy in the 1980s. It also examines Labour`s desire to provide moral leadership to the rest of the world. The last two chapters focus on the Blair and Brown years, with Blair`s response to the Kosovo crisis, to 9/11 and his role in the `war on terror`. Whereas Blair`s approach to foreign affairs was to place emphasis on the efficacy of the use of military force, Brown`s approach instead placed faith in the use of economic measures. This highly readable book provides an excellent analysis of Labour`s foreign policy. It is essential reading for students of British politics, the Labour Party, and foreign policy.
