Overview
What you will study
Chamberlain favoured diplomacy to outwit the dictators but ended up with war; Bevin was the architect of Cold War foreign policy backing nuclear weapons and NATO; Eden authorised force against Nasser’s Egypt but its failure brought him down; Thatcher favoured war to reclaim the Falklands, impatient with diplomatic alternatives, Blair’s Iraq war was militarily successful but politically toxic; and Johnson established a bi-partisan support for Ukraine to oppose Putin.
Each policy was controversial at the time and has remained so under the spotlight of historical scrutiny. The Controversies in UK Foreign Policy - Diplomacy or Military Force lecture series offered by University of Oxford will cover this topic.
