SECURITY

The New Front Line: Security in a changing world. ippr Commission on National Security, Working Paper No. 1 (13th February 2008)
This paper analyses the key changes taking place in the national and international security landscape and assesses their implications for policy, examining the context within which a national security strategy must now be forged. As a result, it becomes clear that the contemporary security landscape is about much more than terrorism alone. The paper identifies five drivers of change and their effects: Globalisation and power diffusion; Global poverty and failing states; Climate change; The growth of political Islam; and Socio-economic vulnerability.
