This is the final report of the ippr Commission on National Security in the 21st Century, an all-party Commission preparing an independent national security strategy for the United Kingdom. Based on research and Commission deliberations over a two-year period, the report sets out a wide range of proposals designed to make our country and its citizens, businesses, and communities more secure.
Our recommendations include:
- A new approach to the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan
- Proposals to improve the UK’s energy security
- Measures to address radicalisation and the threat of terrorism here in the UK
- The call for a transformation in our approach to defence policy, and measures to strengthen both NATO and the European pillar of the transatlantic alliance
- Measures to strengthen and improve the institutions handling security at the centre of government
- Proposals for improved global governance
- A call to strengthen and deepen the legitimacy of the security strategy we pursue.
