2019~2020年英国安全防务的新发展

Abstract:Between July 2019 and May 2020，there were five major developments in the British security and defence policy. First，the UK appointed a new defence minister and a new national security adviser，and sought to appoint several heads of the intelligence agencies in the coming months. Second，the Johnson Government launched the integrated review of foreign，security and defence policy in January 2020. The review was expected to result in the biggest change in British security policy. Third，the UK actively participated in NATO and EU’s security initiatives. Fourth，the UK increased its presence in Syria，and worsened its relations with Iran. Fifth，the UK strengthened its security and defence cooperation with Asian countries such as Japan and the ASEAN countries，while increasingly considering China as its security rival. In the future，the UK will remain active in the security and defence realm，using them as instruments of raising its profile，increasing its global influence and pursuing the aim of “Global Britain”.
