Abstract
In the article the main tendencies of a contemporary foreign historiography in studying army’s role as colonial institute of the British Empire are considered. The main approaches and evolution of views on that problem in the context of Anglo-American tradition of interaction between political elite, military authorities and expert community against the background of long military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq at the beginning of the 21st century with participation of Great Britain and the USA are reflected. Special attention is paid to the formation of the academic historical expertise of «the British way» of counterinsurgency in a relevant social and political context.
