Strategic Trends: Introduction

Strategic Trends is an independent view of the future produced by the Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre (DCDC), a Directorate General within the UK’s Ministry of Defence (MOD).  It is a source document for the development of UK Defence Policy.

This edition of Strategic Trends is benchmarked at December 2006.  It is a live document and will be updated regularly on our website as new thinking emerges and trends develop.

Articles will be added to the website periodically to cover specific topics in greater detail.

Although extensive efforts have been made to verify facts contained in Strategic Trends, readers are cheerfully invited to inform the DCDC of any inconsistencies or inaccuracies.
