Lancaster Defence and Security Dialogue Round Table: ‘China’s Sea Power and UK Security’

The Storey, Meeting House Lane, Lancaster

Wednesday 26 November, 17.00-18.30

The Lancaster Defence and Security Dialogue (LDSD) is a unique occasion for discussion and debate among academics, public intellectuals, policymakers and members of the public on how the UK, as a European yet globally ambitious power, can navigate – especially at the defence level – the complex realities and risks of an increasingly interdependent world paradoxically marked by increasing geopolitical rivalry and divisions.

The 2025 LDSD Rountable will be chaired by Lancaster University Pro Chancellor the Rt Hon. Alistair Burt.

The registration page for the event, and further details, will be released shortly.

For information on the work of the LDSD and its previous roundtables, please view the LDSD webpage on the Centre for War and Diplomacy website.
