Britain in a Perilous World: The Strategic Defence and Security Review We Need: Haus Curiosities

Autor Jonathan Shaw
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 mar 2017
The British government periodically publishes a Strategic Defence and Security Review, an appraisal of the armed forces that seeks to understand and prepare for the defense challenges that lie ahead. This report is often controversial--the 2010 review, for example, made headlines for all the wrong reasons, as major defense projects such as the NIMROD aircraft were discontinued at huge cost, while other projects were maintained only because they were too expensive to abandon.

In advance of the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review, Jonathan Shaw argues persuasively for the need to rethink how governments and Whitehall devise their strategies and reach crucial decisions. Beginning with the review's often imprecise use of language, Shaw challenges the assumptions that underlie the British government's current practices. Ultimately, he suggests how Whitehall can improve its approaches and, equally important, its credibility.

Descriere

The next UK SDSR is scheduled for 2015. We should not set our expectations too high. Whitehall, says Shaw, is locked within frameworks of language and custom that are a hindrance to clear thinking about defence requirements and their implementation. 'Unfit for Purpose' exposes the workings of Whitehall to reveal a fragmented structure and culture.
