Defence to 2020 and Beyond

[CGowen]

The Joint Doctrine and Concepts Centre of the British Armed
Forces predict a breakdown of global order in the next
decade and other strategic thinkers are equally pessimistic.
The consequences for the armed forces of NATO countries

this annual conference, organised jointly by Jane‘s and
Cityforum, looks at the global trends affecting defence and
foreign policy, at the new and mutating threats,
at their strategic implications and at the consequences
for equipment and manpower.
