Metrostrategy
Yesterday I spoke to 120 senior officers at the Australian Command Staff College on national security. After the main Q&A session the topic of conversation moved onto new theatres of conflict. Someone suggested that the armed forces would have to focus more on cities, as a result of increasing urbanisation globally. Urban warfare is an area I am not very familiar with. Fortunately Michael Evans, a fellow at the Australian Defence College has just written an excellent pamphlet on the subject - City without Joy.

Mapping the Global Future
Mapping the Global Future: Report of the National Intelligence Council’s 2020 Project is the third unclassified report prepared by the National Intelligence Council (NIC) in recent years that takes a long-term view of the future. It offers a fresh look at how key global trends might develop over the next decade and a half to influence world events. Mindful that there are many possible "futures," our report offers a range of possibilities and potential discontinuities, as a way of opening our minds to developments we might otherwise miss.
