特蕾莎·梅（Theresa May）在英国退欧谈判中面临诸多困境，找到一种可行的说法来解释英国在退欧后的世界新角色是最棘手的问题之一。她和她的高级政府部长们对“全球化英国”的想法感到失望。将其简称为GlobalBritain™，本文使用定性话语分析来解释这一愿景。它首先将这篇文章定位为对建构主义外交政策分析的贡献。接下来，它解释了使用的方法来选择相关的来源，开发码本和解释数据。第三部分概述了旨在使“全球英国”成为现实的政策架构。最后一节展示了《环球英国》的修辞技巧，通过这种修辞技巧，《环球英国》被塑造成一个英国从欧盟“监狱”中逃脱破坏性禁闭的故事。核心论点是，“全球英国”（global britain™）对英国长期以来旨在发挥全球领导作用的大战略提出了明显的欧洲怀疑主义，而“欧洲”在其中一直扮演着模棱两可的角色。这一结论批判性地反映了我们现在可以进行的研究，以发现更多关于这种正在形成的外交政策叙事的信息。
ABSTRACT Of the many dilemmas faced by Theresa May in negotiating Britain’s withdrawal from the EU, finding a workable narrative to explain Britain’s new world role post-Brexit proved one of the most intractable. She and her top government ministers alighted on the idea of “Global Britain”. Giving it the shorthand GlobalBritain™, the article interprets the vision using qualitative discourse analysis. It begins by positioning the article as a contribution to constructivist foreign policy analysis. Next, it explains the method used to select the relevant sources, develop the codebook and interpret the data. The third section outlines the policy architecture intended to make GlobalBritain™ practical reality. The final section demonstrates the rhetorical techniques through which GlobalBritain™ is framed as the story of Britain escaping a damaging period of confinement inside the EU “prison”. The central argument is that GlobalBritain™ puts a marked Eurosceptic twist on a long-standing UK grand strategy aimed at a global leadership role in which “Europe” has always played an ambiguous part. The conclusion critically reflects on the research we can now conduct to discover more about this foreign policy narrative in-the-making.
