DESCRIPTION:As Britain negotiated its way out of the EU\, the Conservative
  government launched a new foreign policy outlook for British foreign poli
 cy after Brexit: ‘Global Britain’.  This talk will examine the ideas a
 nd accompanying practices associated with this controversial vision. It is
  neither a defence nor another normative critique\, but an attempt critica
 lly to understand how its advocates have used Global Britain to construct 
 British foreign policy post-Brexit.  The central claim is that Global Brit
 ain has more to it than its detractors presume on the policy side\, but\, 
 crucially\, much less than its supporters require on the narrative side to
  market it to domestic and international audiences.  Assuming Brexit goes 
 ahead in March 2019\, the now is to imbue it with a positive sense of purp
 ose by going beyond the story currently in play – of Britain effecting a
  ‘Great Escape’ from the EU.\n\n\nDr Oliver Daddow is Assistant Profes
 sor in British Politics and Security at the University of Nottingham and a
 n Affiliate Researcher at the Bennett Institute for Public Policy\, Univer
 sity of Cambridge. His research interests are in British foreign policy\, 
 Brexit and discourse analysis. His key publications include ‘Britain and
  Europe since 1945’ (Manchester University Press)\, ‘New Labour and th
 e European Union’ (Manchester University Press)\, a textbook on Internat
 ional Relations Theory (Sage) and he co-edits the textbook ‘Politics UK
 ’ (Routledge). He is currently writing a book on the history of British 
 exceptionalism in international relations.\n
