 | Alternative Defence Policy Subjects: Politics & International Relations; Military & Strategic Studies; Security Studies - Pol & Intl Relns; Military Studies; Security Studies - Military & Strategic; Strategic Studies; Peace Studies; War & Conflict Studies; This book, first published in 1988, represents a unique attempt to combine a discussion of an alternative British defence policy in terms of military strategy and new technology, with a consideration of how this policy might be secure in political terms. Written against a background of a possible future Labour government in the late 1980s with a radically different defence policy to the Conservative Government of the day, it considers questions such as: Would conventional deterrence really be effective? Just what is the Labour Party's defence policy? How precisely might Britain be transformed into a non-aligned, non-militarist state? Gordon Burt |
