As the United Kingdom confronts the realities of a post-globalization era and intensifying great power competition, the Henry Jackson Society is pleased to announce the release of a new report, A UK Strategy for Deterrence and Supply Chain Resilience in the Indo-Pacific, by Associate Fellow Darren G. Spinck.

This report argues that London must recalibrate its Indo-Pacific strategy with greater urgency – integrating military strength, economic resilience, and diplomatic credibility – to safeguard sovereignty and maintain relevance in a multipolar world. From modernizing naval capacity and countering Beijing’s coercive control of critical mineral supply chains, to engaging in new transit corridors such as the Middle Corridor, Spinck outlines a blueprint for how the UK can adapt to shifting geopolitical conditions. At a time when Washington and Brussels are realigning their approaches to China, the paper warns that continued ambiguity risks isolating Britain from its closest allies and diminishing its influence in the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
