Discourse is always active in state’s foreign policy, becoming a relevant ideational instrument in order to lead foreign policy. Nevertheless, there are a lack of studies about UK foreign policy discourse. Situation is even worse if we talk about British discourse aimed at Latin American countries such as Peru, showing a knowledge gap. Therefore, this research is a case study that seeks to describe UK discourse towards Peru during 2016-2020. I argue that such British discourse stresses the idea of economic growth opportunity for Peru, of British technical excellence and expertise, of democratic values promotion, and of UK as an academic reference. In this sense, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is chosen as approach. In addition, the selected foreign policy concept emphasizes foreign action (as distinguished from decisions), so this thesis deems UK actions to Peru, which allows to correlate British discourse and its ideas with British actions developed in the country. UK discourse analysis consists of three steps: first, selection of documents, which come from official written and audiovisual sources issued by British institutions and their main servants; second, descriptive analysis of such documents; and third, relation between discourse and actions. Thus, research shows importance of discourse and its ideas in foreign policy, and the relevance of discourse analysis to understand UK actions in Peru.
