Making British Defence Policy by Robert Self
This book explores the process by which defence policy is made in contemporary Britain and the institutions, actors and conflicting interests which interact in its inception and continuous reformulation.'Robert Self has produced a timely and vitally important book for anyone wanting to understand the myriad problems facing modern British defence policy makersThe outstanding research and analysis into critical linkages between economics, domestic politics and foreign policy issues in that process is unrivalled.'
Greg Kennedy, Defence Academy of the United Kingdom
‘Making British Defence Policy fills an important gap in the literature on how defence policy is made in contemporary Britain. It does so by moving beyond analysis of the substance of recent British defence policy, focussing instead on the often-neglected issues of how that policy is actually made, who makes it and the interaction of factors that shape it.'
Matthew Uttley, King’s College London, UK
‘This book is an important wake-up call. Poorly co-ordinated and opaque processes have long bedevilled British defence policymaking. These problems have occasionally been obscured by campaign successes, yet the underlying problems so forensically examined here nonetheless persist.’
Pippa Catterall, University of Westminster, UK
