摘要

At the time of writing, it is likely that the United Kingdom Government will call a General Election on Thursday 5 May 2005. The recent history and pronouncements of the main UK political parties - the Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties - indicate a broad consensus in policy issues relating to security and defence. Indeed, there was a similar pattern to the two previous General Elections. Yet British defence policy and military strategy have been severely tested since the 2001 Election. The attacks on American cities of 11 September of that year gave a new and urgent world-wide prominence to homeland security and counter-terrorism. The British Government led Western support for military action by the United States. And its emergent enthusiasm for the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) that was a feature of the 1997-2001 Parliament dwindled sharply. NATO invoked Article V for the first time in its history, implying but not actually executing common military support in the defence of the United States. And NATO genuinely broke out of its Article VI constraints for the first time in conducting a stabilization operation in Afghanistan.
