Book review: British foreign policy: crises, conflicts and future challenges

Britain has been a significant voice in global politics in the last two decades and its impact on world events far outweighs its material resources. But how does a small island on the edge of Europe continue to exercise this level of power on an international scale? What future challenges will confront British foreign policymakers in a multi–polar world of emerging powers? In this comprehensive introduction to British foreign policy today Jamie Gaskarth aims to address these and other key questions. It is a witty and up-to-date account of the inner workings of the policymaking process in this country, writes James Strong.
