The legacy of Blair and the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan continue
to loom large for the Labour Party, whether in opposition or in
government, giving rise to fierce debates over Labour's attitude and
posture towards the wider world. This book considers the idea of
Labour's international identity, examining how world events and
Labour's response to them have helped to shape ideology, political
culture and domestic agendas from the 1920s until the Iraq War. It
provides a fascinating and original exploration of Labour both on the
world stage and at home - from the influence of the Soviet Union on
political thought in the interwar years to the international student
revolts of the 1960s, and from media in the 1990s to Kosovo and New
Labour Interventionism. This is essential reading for scholars of
modern British politics, as well as anyone interested in the
motivations and influences behind the Labour Party's actions on the
world stage.
