Overview

""Between Power and Mediocrity"" analyzes British foreign policy in 1989 and 1990. The focus is on the question of whether the British government, in light of the global political upheavals of those years, seized the opportunity to preserve British influence in the power structure of Europe and in international politics. The author focuses on three essential areas of British foreign policy: relations with Germany, the European Community, and the United States. The conclusion of the case studies is clear: the British government was unable to maintain Britain's position in the new European and international structure. It was unable to respond flexibly and quickly to the fundamental political changes. The long-standing transformation of the United Kingdom from a colonial world power to a European middle power was sealed with the end of the Cold War.
