Tipping Point 
Britain, Brexit and Security in the 2020s

Britain is facing big security challenges in the 2020s. The decade to come will not be as favourable as the two past decades. For a country as ”globalised” as Britain, security challenges cover a wide spectrum – from terrorism, international crime and cyber attack through to the prospects of war in its own continent or even, again, for its own survival. Brexit has entered these equations and turned them into a political tipping point, from which there is no hiding and no turning back.




Tipping Point looks at the immediate and long-term security challenges Britain faces – from security and foreign policy to the crisis of liberal democracy – as well as Britain”s security capabilities.
