The Policy of the Entente: Essays on the Determinants of British Foreign Policy, 1904-1914

The Policy of the Entente presents a realistic assessment of British priorities in the years before 1914, and considers the fundamental and conflicting pressures that determined the formulation of foreign policy. The author concludes that British policy, far from being increasingly Eurocentric, was emphatically imperial: indeed many of the difficulties faced by Britain's rulers stemmed from their inability to live up to this Imperial self-image.Wilson, Keith M. is the author of 'The Policy of the Entente: Essays on the Determinants of British Foreign Policy, 1904-1914', published 1985 under ISBN 9780521301954 and ISBN 0521301955.
