Abstract

Many of Tony Blair’s policy decisions in the Israeli-Palestinian arena were controversial and politically costly. In Blair, Labour and Palestine, Toby Greene argues that gaps between Blair and his party were rooted in different world views. By offering a detailed analysis of the views held by Blair and key figures within the Labour Party, Greene aims to provide an important contribution that complements other scholarly work on British foreign policy towards the Middle East. However, the book lacks a clear and well-developed analytical framework which would help assessing the role of Blair’s ideas and personal views in shaping and influencing British foreign policy, writes Benedetta Voltolini.
