For too long, successive governments have shied away from acknowledging uncomfortable truths about the decline of Britain's military capabilities. As we approach the middle years of the twenty-first century, a new set of urgent and daunting challenges lie ahead, including climate change, technological development, the rise of AI, and a growing threat from China. The need for us to reconcile ourselves with our position in the world has never been more acute. In \u003ci\u003eBeyond Britannia: Reshaping UK Foreign Policy\u003c\/i\u003e, Simon McDonald persuasively argues that the United Kingdom's significant soft-power strengths can be harnessed to expand its international influence. Such a shift will only be possible, he says, if we first acknowledge the challenges of Brexit and the need to reduce our unrealistic hard-power ambitions. Excellence in areas that other countries care about will keep the United Kingdom internationally relevant in the second half of the century in a way that nostalgia for a lost pre-eminence will not. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Haus Pub.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913368906\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Simon McDonald","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44174067269813,"sku":"9781913368906","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c9637d4c-63d4-4289-b67e-bc3d63b34972.jpg?v=1716300407","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/beyond-britannia-reshaping-uk-foreign-policy-9781913368906","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
