Abstrak	What are the roles of government institutions in the design and implementation of effective national security policy? Using the case of post-2010 reform to Britain s central government security policy machinery, we find that formal institutions can help the informal strategy-making institutions on their periphery to function better. Through interviews with 25 senior officials, we find that Britain s National Security Council and quinquennial Strategic Defence and Security Reviews - both instituted in 2010 with the intention of improving UK security policymaking - remain limited as formal makers of national strategy. But the networks of individuals and ideas they support, by absolving some decision-makers of audience costs while immersing others in creative yet coherent strategy development communities, have improved the overall quality of UK security policymaking compared to its pre-2010 condition. This finding also carries implications for other contexts and thus represents a promising avenue for future research. (Final version accepted 20 June 2018.)
