• TITLE: Beyond Values and Interests: The Anglo-America Special Relationship during the Syrian Conflict

  AUTHORS: Justin Gibbins, Shaghayegh Rostampour

  KEYWORDS: Anglo-American, Special Relationship, Discourse, Intervention, Conflict

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Political Science, Vol.9 No.1, December 29, 2018

  ABSTRACT: This paper attempts to reveal how intervention in international conflicts (re) constructs the Anglo-American Special Relationship (AASR). To do this, this article uses Syria as a case study. Analyzing parliamentary debates, presidential/prime ministerial speeches and formal official addresses, it offers a discursive constructivist analysis of key British and US political spokespeople. We argue that historically embedded values and interests stemming from unity forged by World War Two have taken on new meanings: the AASR being constructed by both normative and strategic cultures. The former, we argue, continues to forge a common alliance between the US and Britain, while the latter produces notable tensions between the two states.
