The iSPER Brexit Series:'The potential impact of Brexit on our national security and defence'

摘要

This paper should be read in conjunction with Paper One within the iSPER Brexit series, which outlines a set of unknown issues, continuities and possible outcomes (UK and EU) from the Brexit vote. A further backdrop to the production of this paper is provided by the publication of the report of the Chilcot inquiry on 6 July 2016, which examined the UK’s preparations for the war in Iraq in 2003, and the subsequent handling of operations. This paper focuses on the challenges for defence and security post Brexit.
