| | Anglosphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Anglosphere has cemented itself in formal alliances, such as that of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and ANZUS, and is more directly manifested in the existence of the UKUSA Community, an intelligence-gathering alliance formed by Anglosphere members. | | | The term Anglosphere describes a certain group of Anglophone (English-speaking) states which share historical, political, and ethnocultural characteristics rooted in or attributed to the historical experience of the British people. | | | This tendency was illustrated during the buildup to the 2003 invasion of Iraq which saw the Anglosphere satellite states (Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand) refuse to involve themselves, in direct contrast to the three core states (USA, UK, and Australia). |

| | This has led to the facile and futile attempt to impose the surface mechanisms of the Anglosphere on cultures with none of the background of slow evolution of strong civil society. | | | In fact, the immigrants assimilated the political values of the Anglosphere quite readily, and do so today despite the attempts of politically correct elites and governments to promote multiculturalism. | | | Why do some nations do well, and not others, and what does this say about the alignments and associations in international politics that we currently have? |

| | Australian foreign policy should not be based on the Anglosphere concept - On Line Opinion - 14/5/2004 |
| | The Anglosphere argument is put forward by a number of prominent people, including Conrad Black, the Canadian-born peer and former media magnate; Robert Conquest, the distinguished Anglo-American historian; and James Bennett, an internet entrepreneur. | | | Nevertheless I would like to suggest that as a foreign policy tool, the Anglosphere is flawed, for at least three reasons. | | | This is relevant because the Second World War marked the apogee of the Anglo-American relationship, to which some Anglophone sentimentalists today hark back. |

| | The Anglosphere perspective is one that deliberately seeks links that have been downplayed by particular national narratives. | | | One other thing I would note, on the topic of why, say, Canadian military history, or some old book about the origins of the Constitution, are relevant. | | | They seem to have embarked on this programme of what will eventually become suicide dimensions out of petty-minded resentment of the rise of America and the Anglosphere. |

| | In fact, it's worth looking at the two main Continental challengers to the Anglosphere, France and Germany, and asking how much of a handicap they gave themselves by the persecution of the French Protestants (just at the time France was losing its high-trust characteristics, perhaps not coincidentally) and by the German rejection of Jewish integration. | | | Basora appears to assume in some of his comments that I am arguing that anything that can be found in the Anglosphere today is inherently good and superior to extra-Anglosphere alternatives. | | | Regarding German technological leadership between 1871-1945, I would have to say that it is Basora's characterization of Germany that is the exaggeration, not my claim. |

| | The so-called "Anglosphere" is the historical axis of the development of capitalism and imperialism over the last three hundred years. | | | Maybe Canada foils his "anglosphere" theory because we were smart enough to not get involved in the Iraq war. | | | BushCo and its Reaganite principles are the latest version of right-wing attempts to naturalize socio-economic violence in the name of supposedly "natural" market principles and a use of the word and concept of "freedom" that's breathtaking in its cynicism. |

| | The Anglosphere (the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia) will always form the core of the Anglo Alliance, but it contains what I would call satellite or vassal states on its borders, much like NATO itself or the Warsaw Pact. | | | Certainly the citizens of any Anglo Alliance country are opposed to Gulf War Redux (and the formation of the Alliance in the first place), but our commenter is very convincing that Portugal is on the list only by accident. | | | You'll notice that none of these states, outside the actual Anglosphere core, enjoy widespread respect within the international community. |

| | But the Anglosphere is also a political and (increasingly) a military alliance, aimed at guaranteeing the political, moral, economic and cultural freedoms necessary for Anglospherical societies to function. | | | The Anglosphere is a state of mind, a set of market-centered economic institutions, a philosophical understanding of the role and danger of government power, and a vast, dynamic, and almost universal popular culture, beloved of ordinary people and abhorred by elites. | | | These technologies can be shackled by the hand of the state, of course. |

| | In support of this, I quoted from this book, which I received a while back as a member of the Classics of Liberty Library; a sort of bookmark-like card that came with it says: | | | In part III of my review of The Substance of Style, I suggested that the secret of Anglospheric wealth, including the "aesthetic plenitude" that is the focus of much of Virginia's book, may be due to a preference for process over principle, resulting in an open economic system rather than a closed one. | | | The freedom and openness -- and wealth -- of the Anglosphere may well rest on its ability to develop open processes for creation and discovery, as opposed to closed definitions of a tidier but fundamentally static world. |
