This volume deals with aspects of British foreign policy from the late nineteenth century to the beginning of the Cold War in keeping with the scholarship of Dr. Zara Steiner, to whom the book is offered as a tribute. The contributors are all well-established experts in the study of diplomacy and foreign policy, and their essays cover the half century from Britain's preeminent position as a world power at the end of the nineteenth century to her relative "decline" during and after the Second World War.
