| Summary/Abstract |
Alexander Alderson was responsible for the publication of the new British Army doctrine on counter-insurgency in 2009. Three years after its publication, Alderson looks back at how the doctrine was formulated, dissecting its historical and contemporary influences, conceptual framework and practical application. His insider's reflection on the elaboration of UK doctrine illuminates the ongoing nature of the process, and highlights the need for constant attention and innovation to meet the challenges faced by the British Army.

| Summary/Abstract |
There is a growing discussion of the concept of 'influence' in British military circles. It potentially offers a way of doing more with less in an era of conflict amongst the people. But rather than being an entirely radical new idea, influence is part of a long tradition of manoeuvrist British military thinking on the conduct of war. The challenges are, argues Alexander Alderson, to ensure it is seen as part of that continuum, and to ensure its appropriate application by a broad base of practitioners through a standardised approach - and one rooted in the British Army's fundamental ethos of manoeuvre.

| Summary/Abstract |
With UK combat operations coming to an end in Afghanistan later this year, there will be a window of opportunity to review the hard-won lessons of the campaigns fought in the Middle East since 2001, and to consider the future evolution of counter-insurgency (COIN). Some might argue that it would be more prudent - and easier - simply to say 'never again'. Yet Alexander Alderson argues that insurgency is here to stay. As such, he explores seven challenges on which the UK should focus as it seeks to learn the difficult lessons of the COIN operations of the last decade.

| Summary/Abstract |
Whether there is the public appetite, or indeed the military means available, for future large-scale military operations abroad, the security threats posed by weak and failing states have not disappeared. One challenge is how to generate the mass for stabilisation. Britain has a long history of small-scale but effective training and mentoring relationships with countries of strategic importance. A revitalised approach to building capacity in other nations - using the right people and structures - could have an important part to play in British security in an age of austerity.
