This module is designed to give students an opportunity to further develop their interest in British politics. It begins with a couple of lectures and seminars introducing students to different theories of international relations and foreign policy. The subsequent sessions will then critically assess these theoretical approaches by applying them to some of the key developments in British foreign policy since 1990. These developments include: the Major Government and the European issue; the Blair Government and the ethical dimension to British foreign policy; the invasion of Iraq; the intervention in Libya; and Brexit.
