      abstract = {This is the first in-depth study of the foreign and  defence policies of the Coalition, a government that saw  the Conservatives restored to power for the first time  since the Iraq War and the Liberal Democrats enter  government for the first time. It explores the idea of  Britain as a Great Power since 1945 to show how the  Coalitions policies fitted into wider historical  understandings of Britains role in the world. Drawing on a  range of evidence from the time of the Coalition, it shows  that this period was one of continued change in British  foreign policy. The Coalition conducted the first strategic  defence review since 1998, significantly reduced the  funding allocations for defence and foreign affairs, raised  overseas aid spending to record levels, engaged in overseas  military action in two sovereign states (and were denied a  chance to participate in another), as well as a wide array  of other policies. This book argues that evaluating these  events and the historical background of the Coalition is  critical to understanding the current crises gripping  British politics. Timothy J. Oliver is a Lecturer in  British Politics and Public Policy at the University of  Manchester, UK. He has teaching and research experience in  British foreign and defence policy, international  relations, and the Liberal Democrats.},
