Introduction and basic arguments: the Suez doctrine of British foreign policy The main purpose of this paper is to introduce an explanatory model for contemporary British foreign policy. It will be argued that British foreign policy since 1956 has been dominated by
what I have chosen to call ‘the Suez doctrine’: a consistent subordination to the foreign policy
of the United States, ie that London has chosen to support Washington on all major foreign policy issues, and not to conduct major foreign policy initiatives on its own without US approval. This foreign policy doctrine is the result of the lessons Britain learned after the Suez crisis in 1956.
To underpin the argument that British foreign policy from 1956 to date can be explained by a consistent subordination to Washington, the paper will start off with a brief historical prologue outlining the history of Britain and the rise and fall of its Empire. The Suez crisis in 1956 will be dealt with extensively to show how it became a watershed in the history of British foreign policy. To illustrate an alternative route of foreign policy strategy, the consequences of the Suez crisis for French foreign policy will be presented briefly. Thereafter I will apply the Suez doctrine and discuss its relevance in explaining the last 50 years of British foreign policy. The historical discussion will be divided into three main time periods: from the Suez crisis in 1956 to the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989 and the subsequent
end of the cold war; the post-cold war period between 1989 and 11 September 2001; followed by the events from 9/11 to present. The purpose of the last section of the paper is to discuss whether closer foreign policy alignment with Britain’s partners in the European Union is a viable alternative to the Suez doctrine in today’s world...
