New Labour Government's Policies

Prior to becoming prime minister, Gordon Brown was relatively silent on the subject of foreign policy. Despite speeches on Britishness, national security, climate change, and terrorism, he left few clues as to his likely strategies for the wider global security agenda–with the exception of a long-standing commitment to tackling poverty in Africa. But even here Brown was more comfortable on aid, debt relief, and trade (soft security) rather than the role of Britain’s armed forces in conflicts such as Darfur. It was expected that Brown would want to act in such cases but would be more cautious about the costs and complexities of intervention than his predecessor.
