Good International Citizenship: A Third Way for British Foreign Policy
To date, there has not been a sustained attempt to bring the philosophy of the Third Way into foreign policy. In order to fill this gap, the authors turn to the idea of `good international citizenship' pioneered by the former Australian Foreign Minister, Gareth Evans. It is argued that good international citizenship provides a conceptual rationale for an ethical foreign policy as well as a standard for judging the priority accorded to the goals of security, trade and human rights. Through an examination of a number of cases, the authors conclude that Britain's record as a good international citizen has been uneven and argue-against Labour's critics-that the government has set a new course for Britain's way in the world. More importantly, it has encouraged a public debate about the meaning and priority accorded to the promotion of different values.
THE CASE OF THE WANDERING UTERUS: \COMA\, THE MEDICAL THRILLER, AND THE WOMAN DOCTOR-DETECTIVE
At the broadest level, I argue that novel and film mutually deploy the discourses of1970s liberal feminist politics in order to construct a model heroine-white, educated, independent, and just-to undertake the medical thriller's cautionary ethical quest: speaking truth to the abuses of institutional power and the dangers of unchecked scientific innovation in the name of the rights of the individual (Pethes 171; Harper and Moor 3-5). In this sense, Coma also takes part in a larger cultural shift in 1970s American mainstream media-registered in Hollywood film and on primetime television- toward topicality, social consciousness, and, in particular, positive representations of benevolent \"feminist\" women-that is, independent, white, working, unmarried heterosexual women, typified for Bonnie J. Novel and film likewise instantiate what feminist film theorist Mary Ann Doane has described as the female spectator's \"'over-identification' with the image\" (80).

Cook orders child army ban
Evening Standard reporter ALEX RENTON, who broke the story of British guns being used to arm child soldiers, returns to Sierra Leone with Foreign Secretary Robin Cook ROBIN COOK met Sierra Leone's president this morning and told him that Britain's \"long-term commitment\" to his country was dependent on children, some of them armed by Britain, being removed from the conflict. Mr Cook, in an hour-long meeting with the president, told him that although Britain's new deployment of 200 soldiers to train the Sierra Leone army, in addition to the 90 officers already advising on strategy and supply, could be seen as a \"long-haul\" plan for Sierra Leone, one of their prime tasks would be to screen out the children. The 600 Royal Marines still guarding the airport and key positions in the city will be removed by the middle of next week - news that has thrown Freetown into a frenzy of complaints.
You're a doormat Gaynor, says Robin Cook's ex-wife
[Margaret] spoke during the election campaign after revealing how [Robin Cook] had snubbed her after winning his Livingston seat last time round. Margaret said that men in search of power, such as her ex- husband, \"are very lonely, and that could be one reason for finding someone who is always there and who doesn't have her own life - a doormat. When men like that get past their sell-by date, theyseem to grow into a rather grim and depressive phase.\" Responding to rumours that Cook has been visiting a speech therapist to give his voice more gravitas, Margaret admitted that she had earlier suggested professional help.
British Foreign Secretary Is No Stranger to Contrast
On the face of it, Robin Cook seems an unlikely man to emerge as the United States' prime defender on the world diplomatic stage as a military strike on Iraq looms. Today he stood next to Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright at a London news conference and said they were \"absolutely one in our analysis, absolutely one in our resolve\" concerning Iraq, toward which Britain has dispatched an aircraft carrier. Earlier this week, he pressed European Union officials to remain firm. Foreign-policy watchers here chalked up the change of heart to idealism giving way to real-world practicalities, or to the cerebral Cook -- he is widely called the sharpest mind in the British cabinet -- conducting a bookish reappraisal. He has come to believe deeply in the U.S. alliance \"by education, by hard-headed calculation,\" said a Western diplomat.
ROBIN COOK 1946-2005: ROBIN DIED ON THE BEN WITH WIFE BY HIS SIDE ; Rescuer tells of vain battle to save MP's life
The helicopter was carrying a pilot, co-pilot, a winchman and winch operator - both of whom are trained paramedics. [ROBIN COOK] got to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness around 4pm but nothing could be done. [George Chrossan] said the crew tried to jump-start [ROBIN COOK'S] heart with electric shocks, gave him oxygen, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and heart massage on the 20-minute flight. Hesaid: \"An A&E team came on board and he was transferred to an ambulance which tookhim to Raigmore where doctors continued to work on him.\" \"The entire crew would like to extend our deepest sympathies to Mrs Cook and we would assure her that we did our best. The red-and- white Sikorsky S61 chopper and itsfour-man crew were en route to a gala day demonstration in Stornoway when they werecalled to the emergency.

Labour admits breaking its promise over arms exports Minister's confession will embarrass Robin Cook
He spoke as Labour's inaction was criticised by Lord Justice Scott, author of the report attacking the last Tory government's handling of the arms-to-Iraq affair. Challenged about the failure on Radio 4's Today programme, Dr [Kim Howells], said: 'It is a promise unfulfilled. There's no question about it.' He argued that Ministers had made some improvements in the way arms exports were handled. Referring to the failure to produce clear- cut legislation on arms exports, he said: 'I should imagine that it's easier from a Government point of view to have an element of confusion than clear cut lines. Politicians can hide behind it.' The criticism is humiliating for Mr [Robin Cook], who was praised in opposition for his skillful attacks on Tory ministers during the arms-to-Iraq affair.
Review: My hero: Robin Cook
[Robin Cook]'s political career was punctuated by great moments, from the demolition of John Major over the Scott inquiry in 1996 to the demolition of his own Labour government, again over Iraq, in 2003. His intolerance of Whitehall deceit was matched by impatience towards those who couldn't keep up with him. Cook's refusal to schmooze prevented him from getting to the very top, but he left his mark in a way that many of his colleagues have not.
