The Integrated Review is a review currently underway by the British Government into the foreign policy, defence, security and international development of the United Kingdom.[1]

Background

The Integrated Review replaces previously separate reviews into foreign policy, defence, national security and international development, such as the National Security Strategy and the Strategic Defence and Security Review.[2] It combines the scope of these individual reviews, making it the largest such review carried out by the UK government since the Cold War.[1]

Set to be released five years since previous reviews, the Integrated Review comes after the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, its subsequent "Global Britain" ambition, the 2019–2020 Persian Gulf crisis, the rise in space warfare, the COVID-19 pandemic and consequent economic downturn, several terrorist attacks and the use of hybrid warfare, particularly by Russia and China.[3][4][5]

Overview

Due to be released in early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom caused it to be delayed.[6][7]
