America and the British Labour Party - The Special Relationship at Work

Klappentext Anglo-American relations have long been discussed in terms of there being a "special relationship" between the two countries. Peter Jones examines this relationship since 1945 with regard to the functioning of the Labour Party. Since the end of World War II! some elements in the British Labour Party were ideologically opposed to a special relationship. A leading question now is whether Labour's anti-Americanism of the 1980's will be submerged by New Labour? This work examines the policies of Labour governments! the points of agreement and difference since 1945 between party leaders! activists! workers and supporters! and looks at the future policies the Labour government might pursue in relation to the United States. Zusammenfassung Since 1945 some elements in the British Labour Party were ideologically opposed to a "special relationship" with America. This work examines the policies of Labour governments, the points of agreement and difference since 1945 and looks at possible future policies pursued by a Labour government.
