| Summary / Abstract (Note) | On 23 November 2015, the United Kingdom unveiled its latest Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR), in conjunction with its new National Security Strategy.1 The SDSR was generally well received; this seemed to be a broadly coherent strategic document, in contrast to its predecessor in 2010,2 which had been driven by the imperatives of an austerity agenda, and which significantly reduced UK military capabilities. Against a more benign budgetary backdrop, the 2015 SDSR went some way towards reconstituting some of the reductions made in 2010. |
