I don't have enough reputation to comment, but in answer to @singularity's question, you have to include the context properties you wish to make available on the component class' contextTypes static property.

From the React docs on context:

If contextTypes is not defined, then context will be an empty object.

In this case:

class NavigateNext extends React.Component {

  // ...

  static contextTypes = {
    router: PropTypes.object
  }

  // ...

}

Unlike propTypes, contextTypes actually cause React to behave differently and is not only for typechecking.
