Abstract
In May 2023, the Prime Ministers of Japan and the UK sealed “an enhanced UK – Japan global strategic partnership,” pledging to strengthen “the free and open international order based on the rule of law.” Is this a realistic objective for two distant, mid-sized, island nations in an increasingly contested, volatile world? How much can their partnership really contribute to international rulemaking or tackling global issues? Can it indeed safeguard either party’s national security or prosperity? How should we measure the results?
