Both the historical and international relations perspectives have generated typologies of crisis management and elite decision making units. This article assesses the performance of the British cabinet system in its conduct of the Suez crisis against a set of criteria drawn from an amalgam of some of those typologies. The article is primarily concerned with the decision making process within the environment of a Cabinet system and, as such, does not seek to make judgements about the success or failure of the policies although there is naturally some overlap.The result of the analysis of the various factors of crisis management is the inescapable recognition of the centrality of personality as the key factor. Eden's influence, based upon his particular mindset, permeates every element of the process. His obsessions drove the process and skewed the ultimate decisions. This is not to say, of course, that the crisis situation itself did not place constraints upon the decision makers because clearly it did; but those constraints were accentuated when refracted through Eden's own perceptual lens. |
