A Diplomatic Meeting
2022,2021
Overview
Drawing on a host of recently declassified documents from the
Reagan-Thatcher years, A Diplomatic Meeting: Reagan, Thatcher,
and the Art of Summitry provides an innovative framework for
understanding the development and nature of the special
relationship between British prime minister Margaret Thatcher and
American president Ronald Reagan, who were known as \"political
soulmates.\" James Cooper boldly challenges the popular conflation
of the leaders' platforms, and proposes that Reagan and Thatcher's
summitry highlighted unique features of domestic policy in their
respective countries. Summits, therefore, were a significant
opportunity for the two world leaders to further their own domestic
agendas. Cooper uses the relationship between Reagan and Thatcher
to demonstrate that summitry politics transcended any distinction
between foreign policy and domestic politics-a major objective of
Reagan and Thatcher as they sought to consolidate power and
implement their domestic economic programs in a parallel quest to
reverse notions of their countries' \"decline.\"
This unique and significant study about the making of the
Reagan-Thatcher relationship uses their key meetings as an avenue
to explore the fluidity between the domestic and international
spheres, a perspective that is underappreciated in existing
interpretations of the leaders' relationship and Anglo-American
relations and, more broadly, in the field of international
affairs.
