Dr. Bill Hayton: "Global Britain and the Indo-Pacific"
Abstract
Since leaving the European Union, Britain has announced a ’tilt’ towards the Indo-Pacific region. It has become a dialogue partner with ASEAN, entered negotiations on joining the CPTPP trade agreement, announced the AUKUS defence technology deal with Australia and the United States and sent a naval flotilla to the region. But how substantial and sustainable is Britain’s engagement with the region likely to be, particularly following the Russian invasion of Ukraine?
