| Summary/Abstract |
The Scottish government's white paper on independence, Scotland's future, sets out its defence blueprint following a 'yes' vote. It makes clear that its defence plans would be subject to a Strategic Defence and Security Review in 2016, as well as negotiation on the division of assets with London. However, it also provides a strong indication of how it envisages its defence posture as an independent state-a major pillar of which is founded upon strong and continued defence cooperation with the rest of the United Kingdom. Is this a realistic assumption? And, if so, how would it work in practice? Contextualized by the increased emphasis on defence cooperation which sits at the heart of NATO's Smart Defence initiative, as well as the European Defence Agency's 'pooling and sharing' programme, the article assesses the benefits and challenges that might be encountered in a defence cooperation agreement between an independent Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom in the event of a 'yes' vote in September's referendum.

| Summary/Abstract |
Canada has contributed to North American strategic defence, and been an ardent propent of strategic stability, since the early Cold War. Though seemingly comatible, Canada's involvement in continental strategic defence and advocacy of strategic stabiligy has been nagged by an underlying contradiction.

| Summary/Abstract |
Despite the cuts demanded by the Strategic Defence and Security Review, Britain will maintain its global role in defence, albeit at a lower level. But cost and budget pressures have exposed serious economic inefficiencies in commissioning and acquisition practices. Ultimately, the review has protected service budgets, rather than conducted a wholesale reappraisal of defence ways and means.

| Summary/Abstract |
The single most important lesson to emerge from the recently announced 2015 defence outlay is what comes out each year: there will never be enough money. Hence, instead of carping about lesser funds for increased military threats, it would be wiser to cut the coat according to the cloth.

| Summary/Abstract |
In 2010 the coalition government conducted a major review of defence and security policy. This article explores the review process from a critical perspective by examining and challenging the state-centrism of prevailing conceptions of current policy reflected in the quest to define and perform a particular 'national role' in contrast to a human-centric framework focused on the UK citizen. It argues that shifting the focus of policy to the individual makes a qualitative difference to how we think about requirements for the UK's armed forces and challenges ingrained assumptions about defence and security in relation to military operations of choice and attendant expensive, expeditionary war-fighting capabilities. In particular, it confronts the prevailing narrative that UK national security-as-global risk management must be met by securing the state against pervasive multidimensional risk through military force, that military power projection capabilities are a vital source of international influence and national prestige and that the exercise of UK military power constitutes a 'force for good' for the long-term human security needs of citizens in both the intervened and intervening state.
