Abstract: Abstract Since the Second World War, the UK has benefited greatly from transAtlantic economic relations, although this has come at a price. For example, prior to the 2003 Iraqi conflict, the UK found itself embroiled in eleventh hour arbitrage to foster diplomatic reconciliations between the USA and the remaining members of the United Nations (UN) Security Council (including France and Germany).’ The failure of these negotiations and ensuing ‘unilateral’ action spearheaded by US and UK forces further entrenched political division across the Atlantic, whilst damaging Prime Minister Blair’s efforts to present himself as pro-European.
