About

The Controversies in UK Foreign Policy - Diplomacy or Military Force lecture series offered by University of Oxford evaluates six controversial decisions in British foreign policy over the last century, all of which weighed in the balance whether to pursue diplomacy or to resort to military force.

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.
