It explores a number of key themes including: the experience of counter-insurgency in the middle east; the constribution of maritime and air forces; the challenges posed in adapting western armed forces to their new task; and responses made - in light of the perceived need for international action againts insurgencies - by multilateral institutions such as NATO and the Europa union.
