d\u00e9mentis<\/a> qui se veulent apaisants. Parlant de la pr\u00e9sence de Malloch Brown au gouvernement et encha\u00eenant sur les \u00e9v\u00e9nements des deux derniers jours, les auteurs, Rachel Sylvester et Alice Thompson, \u00e9crivent :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abIn fact, it is increasingly clear that his appointment as the new minister for Africa, Asia and the UN was part of a shift in strategy.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abThis week, Douglas Alexander, the uber-Brownite new International Development Secretary, told an audience in America that it was time for a new era of soft power, in which Britain forged \u00a0\u00bbnew alliances\u00a0\u00bb in a multi-lateralist world.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbDespite official denials, this has been seen as a shot across the bows of the White House ahead of Mr Brown’s first official Washington trip.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tMalloch Brown, dans son interview, ne fait rien pour d\u00e9mentir ces changements, jusqu’\u00e0 sugg\u00e9rer qu’il faut les prendre comme tels, sans barguigner. Il ne fait aucun cadeau \u00e0 ses ennemis neocons<\/em>, qui continuent \u00e0 tenir le haut du pav\u00e9 de la pens\u00e9e washingtonienne : \u00abIn his first interview since joining the Government, he said: What I really hate is the effort to paint me as anti-American, but I am happy to be described as anti-neo-con. If they see me as a villain, I will wear that as a badge of honour.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tOn apprend dans le cours de l’interview que Gordon Brown a \u00e9t\u00e9 chercher Malloch Brown, qui s’\u00e9tait retir\u00e9 de la vie politique. Cela indique \u00e9videmment l’importance que Brown attache au r\u00f4le du m\u00eame Malloch Brown: \u00abHis highly-paid job as vice-chairman of a hedge fund had to be sacrificed when he accepted Mr Brown’s job offer. The call was impossible to resist … I’ve got the politics bug, he said.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tQuelques extraits des d\u00e9clarations de Malloch Brown :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t Cette phrase, qui s’accorde parfaitement avec le calendrier des premiers d\u00e9placements de Brown, dont le caract\u00e8re symbolique va peser de plus en plus lourd (Brown va voir Merkel, Sarkozy, puis Bush, dans l’ordre) : \u00abMy hope is that foreign policy will become much more impartial. We have a whole set of emerging countries. There will be lots of exciting things to do with Sarkozy and Merkel and other European leaders as well as strengthening our transatlantic relations.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t D’une fa\u00e7on g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, Brown explique pourquoi les relations USA-UK vont changer, semblant tenir pour acquis qu’elles vont effectivement<\/strong> changer : \u00abMr Brown will not, he thinks, be cosying up to Mr Bush quite as much on the sofa. Events determine relationships. For better of worse, it is very unlikely that the Brown\/Bush relationship is going to go through the baptism of fire and therefore be joined together at the hip like the Blair\/Bush relationship was.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThat was a relationship born of being war leaders together. There was an emotional intensity of being war leaders with much of the world against them. That is enough to put you on your knees and get you praying together.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbBritain’s approach to foreign policy is, he thinks, about to change radically. But he thinks Mr Brown will get on with the White House because American foreign policy has also changed.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tQuoi qu’il se passe dans les relations Washington-Londres, il appara\u00eet \u00e9vident que la pr\u00e9sence de Malloch Brown dans le gouvernement britannique va devenir un enjeu de taille des relations sp\u00e9ciales. Il est possible que la chose devienne un des points centraux des tensions probables entre les deux pays. D’ores et d\u00e9j\u00e0, Malloch Brown semble devoir prendre une place consid\u00e9rable dans la politique ext\u00e9rieure de l’\u00e9quipe Brown et ses rapports avec son sup\u00e9rieur au Foreign Office vont devenir un sujet de controverse (\u00abSome worry that Lord Malloch Brown, who is 53, will dominate the 42-year-old David Miliband, but he said: It’s fine for me to be, for the first time in my life, the older figure, the wise eminence behind the young Foreign Secretary.<\/em>\u00bb).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
