Briefings
We provide expert advice and analysis on the latest foreign policy developments.
The New Diplomacy Project publishes regular briefings that provide both detailed background and specific policy recommendations. These briefings are written by members of the executive committee alongside our network of researchers and policy specialists. Every paper is reviewed by external subject-matter experts. The views contained in them are those of the authors, not the New Diplomacy Project, our parliamentary supporters, or our advisory council.
A Labour strategy for Russia’s war on Ukraine
This report attempts to provide a maximally sleek strategic overview to inform Labour policy and thinking on the UK-Ukraine (UK-UA) relationship and on Russia’s war against Ukraine. In so doing, it draws on interviews with a wide range of senior Ukrainian, British, American, EU, and Russian officials and foreign policy elites as well as close to a decade of academic research on Russian foreign policy, propaganda, and public attitudes towards Ukraine and the West.
China’s rise: UK policy responses at home and abroad
Labour’s approach to China must move beyond a focus on foreign policy and human rights and particularly address domestic policy, with an emphasis on supply chains, resilient infrastructure and technological autonomy.
The IMF and Special Drawing Rights: An opportunity for the UK to drive the global Covid-19 recovery
The UK should use its current G7 presidency to devise a multilateral system, such as a fund, into which developed countries can channel their additional SDRs. That fund could then provide quick grants to countries in need.
China: How Labour should respond to a growing strategic threat
The UK increasingly recognises China as a security risk, and the US has been even more proactive in challenging increased Chinese military aggression.
