The New Diplomacy Projects Submission to the Security and Defence Review
The New Diplomacy Project’s submission offers propositions in four areas of interest. Each proposition comes with recommendations, prioritisation where appropriate, and with suggestions for savings and/or compensating reductions where we have been able to identify them.
1. Describe the strategic, threat, and operational context for UK Defence 2024-2050. Understanding the threat the PRC poses to the UK, by Sam Goodman
2. Propose, in order of priority, the roles UK Defence must be capable of fulfilling 2024-2040. The Defence Contribution to Democratic Resilience, by Toby Dickinson
11. Propose how UK Defence builds and sustains a relationship with technology providers and industry (major primes and SME) that enables the technology choices that will drive globally pace-setting modernisation and transformation.

12. Propose how UK Defence acquisition and support (for all classes of equipment) continues to modernise to: maintain pace with key technology, enable the transition to an integrated force, advance interoperability in NATO, and deliver agile, cost-effective acquisition and support at optimum value for money.
