The easing of superpower tensions has not brought the degree of stability to world affairs initially expected by some commentators. With the balance of global power likely to shift from a bipolar to a multipolar basis, many nations are re-examining their security outlook. For most, strategic preferences will be constrained by economic realities. In the next two to three decades, security planners are likely to react to these circumstances by structuring defence forces that do more for less; that are 'smaller but larger'. The contributors to this volume focus on the place of conventional air power in national security into the 21st century. Readers will find a range of insights into a broad range of issues, including: strategic analysis, foreign relations, regional perceptions, community attitudes towards the military, joint operations, defence industry, force structure planning, doctrine and strategy, and historical analysis.
