This article forms part of The Conversation UK's 'State of the Nation' series, which looks at the coalition government’s progress over the years 2010-2015, across a range of vital policy areas. Maxine David looks at Britain’s diminishing role in world affairs. She writes that the coalition’s five years in power have included a few real foreign policy triumphs, most recently with the Iran nuclear deal framework and the British contribution to efforts against Ebola but also in the early days with David Cameron’s triumphant 2011 visit to Tripoli. Seen in the round though, there is little to inspire confidence – unless a reduced role for Britain in the world is our preferred direction of travel. The UK’s retreat from leadership in world affairs has only hastened these last five years, and there’s no sign the country will change course any time soon. |
