【 摘 要 】

The paper attempts to reassess the British politics in Europe and to formulate a new vision of Great Britain‘s role in the development of Versailles international order in the first half of the 1920s. This interdisciplinary research was performed by using the methods of multifactor and system-analysis of international relation along with historical and political methods. The author notes that the turning point of Great Britain‘s European policy emerged in 1921 and was connected with developing a complex foreign policy programme of ―European reconstruction‖. This policymaking process before and at the Genoa Conference of 1922 is researched in the paper. The study of the diplomatic aspects in the foreign policy implementation is based on the investigation of the personal political style and diplomacy of D. Lloyd George‘s, the British Prime-Minister at that time. Despite the British foreign policy aims were partly achieved at the Genoa Conference, the priorities of the British policy addressing European problems remained urgent in 1923 – 1925. The author concludes that the leadership of Great Britain in the Versailles order stabilization was provided by such basic features of British foreign policy as continuity and systematic political thinking.
