| Summary/Abstract |
In this year's Trench Gascoigne Essay Prize winning essay, David Blagden assesses the fundamental assumptions underlying opposition to the retention of major war-fighting capability within the UK armed forces, arguing that the case has not been made for a solely counter-insurgency-based future. Despite the prospect of far-reaching budgetary cuts, Britain needs to retain a balanced range of capabilities in order to hedge against an array of possible future threats.
