Authors note:
Thanks to Georgina Sinclair, Feargal Cochrane, and Tim French for their help with this briefing (all mistakes are the authors’ own).
In the first half of 2020, the Oxford Research Group (ORG) held a series of four face-to-face and online roundtables to understand the risks and challenges remote warfare could present over the next five years and how the Integrated Review could address them.
Three key questions emerged:
How should the UK respond to threats?
How should the UK measure the success of military interventions?
This briefing seeks to address the third of these questions. You can read the first of the three briefings here and the second one here.
