Britain is no longer the great power it once was. Caught between an unmoored America and a fractured Europe, it confronts rising authoritarian challenges from China and Russia, while its domestic debates drift into abstract moralising. Lacking a coherent vision for the future, the country risks sliding further into managed decline, its global relevance steadily eroded.
Yet such a trajectory is not inevitable. In this clear-eyed assessment of Britain’s economic, ideological and strategic vulnerabilities, Azeem Ibrahim identifies the essential building blocks of renewal. He outlines a programme of legal, bureaucratic and fiscal reforms that will allow a genuinely independent Britain to capitalise on its core strengths. After all, as a lean and specialised nuclear power with one of the world’s most sophisticated intelligence networks, as well as world-class universities and a cultural reach second only to the US, the UK can still shape global affairs.
A Greater Britain argues that a clear strategic anchor and bold leadership are needed if the UK is to convert its advantages into real influence. By formulating a pioneering Knowledge Power Doctrine, the book offers a grand strategy for a once powerful nation, providing nothing short of a roadmap back to British greatness.
Dr Azeem Ibrahim OBE is a research professor at the Strategic Studies Institute, US Army War College, and a director at the Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy in Washington, D.C. Over the past two decades, Dr Ibrahim has advised a number of world leaders and governments on policy development and strategy. In the United Kingdom, he was advisor to the 2021 Integrated Defence and Security Review and member of the 2021 G7 Leaders’ Panel on Economic Resilience. He served as team leader on Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s Social Mobility Task Force and was a founding member of the UK’s Commission for Countering Extremism. In the USA, Dr Ibrahim regularly delivers briefings to the White House, Congress, Senate, State Department, Pentagon and many other US agencies. Dr Ibrahim is also the author of The Rohingyas: Inside Myanmar’s Genocide (2016), Radical Origins: Why We Are Losing the War Against Islamic Extremism (2017) and Authoritarian Century: Omens of a Post-Liberal Future (2022).
