Ever since Gordon Brown took over as the British Prime Minister, a conspicuous shift in the English approach vis-à-vis the US is discernible. The difference was apparent recently,
when the International Development Secretary in Brown’s cabinet, Douglas Alexander, told the US to reconsider its priorities, subtly criticising American foreign policy. Taking a dig at US, he stated that a nation’s strength must no longer be identified by its destructive power, pointing out instead that it “should be measured by what we can build together.”
Advocating the importance of multilateralism in Brown’s foreign policy agenda, Douglas Alexander added that UK will form “new alliances, based on common values,” that will help her reach out to the world. In as much, UK has been successful in sending the message to the US, loud and clear that, while Britain stood beside the US in countering terrorism, isolation does not work in an interdependent world.
