President Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron hold a joint press conference as Cameron begins a state visit
No full textPresident Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron hold a joint press conference as Cameron begins a state visit. Obama talks about the long friendship between the two countries and describes areas of mutual interest around the world. Calling the British relationship with the U.S., "a partnership without parallel," Cameron comments on trade relations, joint military operations, the economy, the G-8, and Syria. Responding to reporters' questions Obama calls the IRS investigation into conservative political groups "outrageous" and dismisses the GOP investigation into Benghazi as "a political circus." Cameron says he wants to offer additional help to those in the Syrian opposition interested in forming a democratic government. He also discusses Britain leaving the European Union
Liberal intervention in the foreign policy thinking of Tony Blair and David Cameron
No full textDavid Cameron was a critic of Tony Blair’s doctrine of the international community, which was used to justify war in Kosovo and more controversially in Iraq, suggesting caution in projecting military force abroad while in opposition. However, and in spite of making severe cuts to the defence budget, the Cameron-led Coalition government signed Britain up to a military intervention in Libya within a year of coming into office. What does this say about the place liberal interventionism occupies in contemporary British foreign policy? To answer this question, this article studies the nature of what we describe as the ‘bounded liberal’ tradition that has informed British foreign policy thinking since 1945, suggesting that it puts a distinctly UK national twist on conventional conservative thought about international affairs. Its components are: scepticism of grand schemes to remake the world; instinctive Atlanticism; security through collective endeavour; and anti-appeasement. We then compare and contrast the conditions for intervention set out by Tony Blair and David Cameron. We explain the similarities but crucially also the vital differences between the two leaders’ thinking on intervention, with particular reference to Cameron’s perception that Downing Street needed to loosen its control over foreign policy-making after Iraq. Our argument is that policy substance, policy style and party political dilemmas prompted Blair and Cameron to reconnect British foreign policy with its ethical roots, ingraining a bounded liberal posture to British foreign policy after the moral bankruptcy of the John Major years. This return to a patient, pragmatic and ethically informed foreign policy meant that military operations in Kosovo and Libya were undertaken in quite different circumstances, yet came to be justified by similar arguments from the two leaders

Help! David Cameron likes my art
No full textThis book chapter examines the events set in motion by the UK Government Art Collection’s acquisition of Eva Weinmayr’s artwork Today's Question, and its subsequent loan to Samantha and David Cameron—then the UK Prime Minister—for display in their private residence at 10 Downing Street. It reflects on the dilemmas that emerge when an artist’s work receives endorsement from what might be regarded as the “wrong” audience. Convinced that once “a work is out, it’s out” and that it inevitably develops a social life of its own—whether it inspires, comforts, provokes, or makes people think—Weinmayr uses this episode to rehearse a range of possible reactions always keeping in mind The Smiths’ co-founder Johnny Marr, who famously declared: “DAVID CAMERON, STOP SAYING THAT YOU LIKE THE SMITHS. NO YOU DON’T. I FORBID YOU TO LIKE IT.”https://openeditions.com/product/distributed
