Description

As the UK continues to implement its Indo-Pacific tilt, rebuild bilateral ties with its European neighbours and middle ground powers, as set out in the Integrated Review Refresh, the British Council, its UK funders and partners need to have a comprehensive understanding of how the UK's infrastructure and resources compares with other countries. Building on previously collected analysis and data on how the UK and other countries connect and project their brand and influence, the British Council now wishes to update the picture based on publicly available information sources and data and capture trends.
