Abstract
South China Sea is often called as conflict prone area, where the conflict between international parties doesn’t come to end yet. The escalation of the conflict is also invited the intervention of countries outside Southeast Asia and East Asia such as United Kingdom, United States of America, and France. This paper is going to examine the reason behind the deployment of HMS Queen Elizabeth ship policy in 2021 to the South China Sea by United Kingdom. Using the frameworks of idea in foreign policy and Goldstein and Keohane’s type of idea, the author found the idea of Global Britain serves as a foreign policy guide (road map), and the shared beliefs that have been agreed upon it are what prompted United Kingdom to send its largest ship to the South China Sea. From the author's analysis, there are two things from the idea of Global Britain, wanted to be shown by the UK through the intervention of HMS Queen Elizabeth: a strong-independent UK and Britain as a 'hero' of global trade.
