Résumé:
The US-UK relationship prospered during World War II, deepened during the ever long
struggle with the Soviet Union, and has flourished further since the end of the Cold War. It is
definitely surviving any new challenges and obstacles that may loom on the horizon just the
same as it survived the crisis of Suez, Skybolt, and the Falklands. Therefore, this dissertation
highlights the fact that these strong and intense arguments between London and Washington
are not newly born. Without the ―Special Relationship‖ the United Kingdom is just one mere
medium size country among many European countries in the European Union.
Using a qualitative descriptive content analysis, the study confirms the special relationship
between President Bill Clinton and George W. Bush with Prime Minister Tony Blair, which
added many privileges to both countries, and how Blair intervened in many ways to support
America. Furthermore the dissertation highlights Tony Blair's strategies and its direct impact
on Britain's foreign policies, and the tactics he used to preserve Britain's standing in America.
This study concludes with the results of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the two American
towers and wars on a number of countries under the banner of eliminating terrorism.
