The British Labour Movement and the Campaign for Democratic and Human Rights in Iraq, 1984-2010

本项目将分析英国工党运动在政府内外制定外交政策的过程，着眼于促进伊拉克的民主和人权。为了回答有关劳工运动焦点变化和英国国家利益重新定位的问题，它将广泛利用安·克罗伊德（Ann Clwyd）新近捐赠的档案，克罗伊德是1984年至2019年在赛农谷（Cynon Valley）的工党议员。安·克罗伊德是伊拉克反对镇压和争取民主权利委员会主席，是库尔德民族权利和人权的坚定倡导者，也是布莱尔政府走向2003年伊拉克战争的关键人物。

This project will analyse the creation of foreign policy in the British Labour movement both out of and in government with an eye to democracy and human rights promotion in Iraq. Seeking to answer questions regarding the changing focus of the Labour movement and the reorientation of British national interest, it will make extensive use of the newly donated archive of Ann Clwyd, Labour MP for Cynon Valley from 1984-2019. Ann Clwyd chaired the Committee Against Repression and for Democratic Rights in Iraq, was a staunch advocate for Kurdish national and human rights, and was a key actor in the Blair government's path towards the 2003 Iraq War.
