The size of western armed forces, their stocks of weaponry and
their readiness for combat are declining. Meanwhile, growing
nationalism is hampering international cooperation and fuelling
conflict everywhere. The west's will - as well as its capability -
to shape the world is ebbing away. Beset by economic woes, western
countries are continuing the post-Cold War process of disarmament
at the very moment that many believe a new Cold War is starting.
NATO members have compared Vladimir Putin's foreign policy to that
of Adolf Hitler, newly empowered groups such as ISIS, not to
mention some governments, are tearing up the rulebook of acceptable
international behaviour, and the military prowess that the western
world once regarded as its prerogative is being dwarfed by
countries like India and China. Tightly argued by Newsnight's
diplomatic and defence editor Mark Urban, THE EDGE is a sharp
polemic that breaks new ground in examining the workings and
consequences of these geo-political tectonics, and shows just how
rapidly the balance of power has been upended.
