| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Adopting the analytical framework of the established interpretive "schools" of Anglo-American relations, this article offers several reflections on UK-US defense relations as they occurred over the significant years of 2000-2005. During those years, trajectories were established on which UK-US defense relations continue to travel today and outcomes emerged which are still being navigated. This article concludes that the Latin phrase, "Flectas Non Frangas" (essentially translated as: "Bend not Break"), is the most appropriate to adopt to characterize the developments undergone in recent UK-US defense relations. Many historical and strategic lessons with contemporary relevance are drawn. |
