Future War and the Defence of Europe
This book offers a major new analysis of how peace and security can be maintained in Europe and provides a radical vision of a technology-enabling future European defence. It weaves history, strategy, policy, and technology into a compelling analytical narrative and lays out the scale of the challenge Europeans and their allies face.
Little Britain?
Little Britain? Twenty-First Century Strategy for a Middling European Power considers British national and defence strategy at a critical juncture in Britain's long history. The book is blunt; far from little, Britain is still a major power with the necessary power, resources and influence to help shape the world in which it resides. However, for Britain to protect its critical national interests London's High Establishment must re-establish a level of strategic ambition, competence and self-confidence appropriate for one of the world's still leading powers. Sadly, strategic competence has been lacking for far too long at the top of British government. Given the challenges and dangers Britai...
The Oxford Handbook of War
The Oxford Handbook of War is the definitive analysis of war in the twenty-first century. With over forty senior authors from academia, government and the armed forces world-wide the Handbook explores the history, theory, ethics and practice of war. The Handbook first considers the fundamental causes of war, before reflecting on the moral and legal aspects of war. Theories on the practice of war lead into an analysis of the strategic conduct of war and non Western ways of war. The heart of the Handbook is a compelling analysis of the military conduct of war which is juxtaposed with consideration of technology, economy, industry, and war. In conclusion the volume looks to the future of this apparently perennial feature of human interaction.
British Strategic Leadership: Food for Thought (Shrivenham Paper, Number 2, October 2006).
Strategic Leadership is being thrust upon Britain. The strategic environment is evolving, and not for the better, as state power is once again preeminent. Emerging great powers, strategic terror, proliferating destructive technologies, radical belief systems and the increasing imbalance between available energy supplies and burgeoning demand are driving a new strategic agenda. One-dimensional American leadership, European isolationism, the lack of a strategic consensus in the West, and the weakness of both NATO and the EU are preventing a cohesive strategic response. There are two particular dangers to the system of institutionalized state stability constructed by the West: state competition...
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization
This book is an excellent introduction to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Julian Lindley-French clearly outlines all of the institution's key facets to deliver an authoritative account. Detailing the origins, institutions, workings and activities of NATO, this volume also focuses on its future as the institutional basis for the security dimension of the transatlantic relationship, and an institution contributing to global security. It is clear that NATO faces fresh challenges in the twenty-first century and will be in the spotlight for years to come.
Understanding NATO in the 21st Century
This volume provides an overview of the evolution of NATO, alliances and global security governance in the twenty-first century.For so-long the cornerstone of the transatlantic partnership, the evolution of NATO has profound implications for the co-operative or competitive nature of transatlantic relations and regional and global security governance. As NATO moves into the twenty-first century its role, purpose, utility and very existence as the core transatlantic security alliance is increasingly questioned.For many observers with a more profound understanding of the evolution of NATO, such self-doubt has been a constant feature of NATO throughout its existence. But contemporary debates tha...

Conquering Peace
A bold new look at war and diplomacy in Europe that traces the idea of a unified continent in attempts since the eighteenth century to engineer lasting peace. Political peace in Europe has historically been elusive and ephemeral. Stella Ghervas shows that since the eighteenth century, European thinkers and leaders in pursuit of lasting peace fostered the idea of European unification. Bridging intellectual and political history, Ghervas draws on the work of philosophers from Abbé de Saint-Pierre, who wrote an early eighteenth-century plan for perpetual peace, to Rousseau and Kant, as well as statesmen such as Tsar Alexander I, Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill, Robert Schuman, and Mikhail Go...
