英国外交形势

Abstract:To rehabilitate the declining image and rebuild the national confidence of the UK，the concept of “Global Britain” was correspondingly put forward by May government. Since Brexit，the concept of “Global Britain” has been embedded into May government’s diplomatic strategy. In its fledging period，the concept of “Global Britain” inevitably bears criticism and doubts about its ambitious agenda. During July 2017 and June 2018，the policies formulated by May government exerted both positive and negative effects on the performance of “Global Britain”. In order to maintain a free and opening trade environment，the UK government endeavored to negotiate a tailored free trade agreement with the EU，the US and China. Hard border and harsh immigrant policy were in effect undermining the global-friendly image of Britain. The government played a proactive and responsible role in global governance in terms of security，economic cooperation，foreign aid and environmental protection. The UK also intended to enhance close relations with the EU members and Anglosphere countries，and in the meantime it tried to build a new partnership with promising countries such as India.
