As the UK’s new government approaches one year in office, it has had an opportunity to undertake initial reviews of defence, foreign and development policies. At the same time, it faces dilemmas in how to position itself and work effectively, in a time of intense global volatility. In every region, the rise of populism, polarisation, nationalism and authoritarianism is fuelling instability. Rapid changes are problematizing some of the fundamental assumptions underpinning UK foreign and security policy, and making progressive internationalism seem ever more challenging. This complicates the strategic outlook for the UK, posing challenging questions as to how to make its peace and security approaches and partnerships truly effective and sustainable. In this context, this event explores how the UK’s strategies, partnerships and engagement in troubled regions can best serve the UK’s interest in preventing conflict and promoting lasting peace and security.
Objectives
• Provide a discreet space for evidence-based exchange between those in strategic roles and experts drawn from academia, thinktanks and practitioner organisations.
• Identify threats and opportunities for the UK within the current volatile international political and security landscape
• Identify paths and approaches through which the UK can continue to prevent conflict, manage crises and promote lasting peace and accountable security
