We argue that the two moves ‘home’ - first to security and defence and then to the Anglosphere and EuroAtlantic - provided a sense of renewed stability of identity, which in turn can shed light on the trajectory of UK foreign policy priorities after 2016.

What do we find? That the ‘Global Britain’ narrative evolved in a very different direction from what May sketched out in 2017. The narrative moved first from international trade to the security and defence domain. Then from the Indo-Pacific to the Anglosphere and Euro-Atlantic.

Our analytical focus is on dominant positions and representations in official discourse, put forth by actors authorized to speak on the state's behalf. We analyse a number of speeches, statements, and documents, and we have also conducted some interviews 📚📑💬
