British Foreign Policy After Brexit (eBook, ePUB)

An Independent Voice

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

At a time of alarming global instability, amid shocking terrorist attacks in Europe and mounting tensions between the USA and North Korea, a clear and focused foreign and defence policy is now more critical than ever. Now that departure is under way, what happens next?

Against this unpredictable geopolitical backdrop, Britain's position in the world needs to be recalibrated to take account of a range of new realities. Now is the time to move forward, to define a positive, outward-looking role in this post-Brexit world.

British Foreign Policy after Brexit examines what lies ahead, encompassing a diplomatic, security, development and trade agenda based on hard-headed realism. Former Foreign Secretary David Owen and former diplomat David Ludlow, who backed opposite sides in the referendum, together argue that Britain's global role and influence can be enhanced, rather than diminished, post-Brexit.

Autorenporträt

David Owen was a Member of Parliament for twenty-six years from 1966 to 1992. Under Labour governments, he served as Navy Minister, Health Minister and Foreign Secretary. He was co-founder of the Social Democratic Party, established in 1981, and its leader from 1983 to 1990. He currently sits in the House of Lords as an independent Social Democrat. From 1992 to 1995, Lord Owen served as EU peace negotiator in the former Yugoslavia. From 1999 to 2005, he was chairman of New Europe, an organisation that successfully campaigned for the UK to stay outside the Eurozone while remaining a member of the EU. But, with the EU increasingly becoming dysfunctional, he campaigned in the 2016 referendum for the UK to leave the EU. From 1995 to 2015 he had business interests in the US, Russia and the UK. He is the author of In Sickness and In Power: Illness in Heads of Government, Military and Business Leaders since 1900 (revised edition 2016); Europe Restructured: The Eurozone Crisis and Its Aftermath (2012); The Health of the Nation: NHS in Peril (2014); The Hidden Perspective: The Military Conversations 1906-1914 (2014) and Cabinet's Finest Hour: The Hidden Agenda of May 1940 (2016).
