| Summary/Abstract |
The United Kingdom (UK) has traditionally exerted significant influence on the global human rights agenda through its diplomacy in multilateral human rights forums. This influence, stemming from the UK’s geopolitical standing, its membership of the European Union (EU) and the perception that the UK is a strong supporter and advocate of human rights, has been utilised to advance its own human rights priorities and influence the activities of other states. By examining recent developments, including the UK’s departure from the EU, the rise of populist sentiments internationally and a growing scrutiny of the UK’s domestic human rights record, this article explores both the opportunities and challenges posed by these emerging challenges. In so doing, the analysis casts doubt on the unfettered optimism of ‘Global Britain’, the idea that the UK can emerge from its ties with the EU as an influential actor in the field of human rights.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article reads Carr through the lens of Spinoza's ethics, and Spinoza through the prism of Carr's IR Theory. The argument of the piece is that there are significant parallels in the ethical projects of both writers, which upon further examination reveal important aspects of global political life and the nature and limits of ethics in International Relations. The close, critical examination of Spinoza ad Carr undertaken in this article also sheds light on the most controversial aspect of Carr's career, his advocacy of appeasement in Nazi Germany.
