Title ProperKeeping our powder dry? UK defence policy beyond Afghanistan
LanguageENG
AuthorChalmers, Malcolm
Publication2011.
Summary / Abstract (Note)The strain of the past decade's military operations - both in terms of financial overextension and the toll on the armed forces - has called into question the age of liberal intervention begun in Kosovo in the 1990s. As the full impact of the SDSR's costcutting measures are felt in the UK, a mixed approach may be emerging that would balance Alliance commitments, bilateral co-operation and small-scale international missions whilst at the same time managing expectations about the UK's reach and capability.
