Development in the pre-war era

This report from UK think tank the Coalition for Global Prosperity looks at reinvigorating international development as part of UK foreign and security policy.

Development in the Pre-War Era makes the case for reinvigorating international development as a cornerstone of UK foreign and security policy to counteract the rising influence of autocratic regimes. Drawing on expert insights from diplomats, academics, and security professionals, the report highlights a dangerous alignment between Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. This “axis of autocracies” seeks to undermine the rules-based international order and reshape global norms in their image by exploiting, coercing and courting the developing world, posing significant security threats to the UK and broader West.
