MARK CURTIS, the author of “Unpeople: Britain's Secret Human Rights Abuses” and “Web of Deceit: Britain's Real Role in the World”, also former director of the World Development Movement, spoke about his research on British foreign policy, especially the foreign policy in the last years after 9/11 and the war in Iraq. He argues, that four new phases are introduced in Britain's foreign policy with
1.Britain deepening its support for repressive regimes (e.g. Israel, Colombia, Nigeria, Russia), 2. Britains new phase in global military intervention, 3. Britian pushing to be no longer bound by international law in its foreign policy, 4. more propaghanda and information policy directed towards the public.
