Posted by Think Defence in Think Tanks on July 2, 2009

The recently published document by the Institute for Public Policy Research is a weighty and wide ranging research paper, the last in a series; that presents an independent national security strategy for the UK.

About Think Defence

Think Defence is the collected ramblings of a few people that wish defence to go much higher up the UK national agenda, recognising that the answer is not always more money but better spending. Although focused on UK issues, anything we find interesting will find its way in. We operate a fairly open door policy and encourage guest contributors, if you want to say something just contact us or leave a comment. This will result in blog entries that disagree with each other but that it fine, debate is good. Where we are incorrect (and it will happen, probably a lot) just let us know, review and correction strengthen the quality of posts. Finally, it's just a blog, so don't take it too seriously!
