Abstract
Britain’s foreign policy has always been noted for its pragmatism, its general caution and its attention to the maintenance of existing structures. Nowhere are these characteristics—with all their virtues and vices—more apparent than in the field of Anglo-Soviet relations. Britain’s approach to the Soviet Union has always been, and continues to be, essentially conservative. This is not to say Anglo-Soviet relations are impervious to change; on the contrary, Britain’s Soviet policy has proven rather adaptable. But change can only take place within certain constraints set by the international system, and the Soviet Union, even though it is a vital component of the international system, has not generally had a great effect on those constraints.
