A Greater BritainAzeem IbrahimLabel: Biteback PublishingDescription: Britain is no longer the great power it once was. Caught between an unmoored America and a fractured Europe it confronts rising authoritarian challenges from China and Russia while its domestic debates drift into abstract and ideological moralising. Lacking a coherent vision for the future the country risks sliding further into managed decline its global relevance steadily eroded.Yet such a trajectory is not inevitable. In this clear-eyed assessment of Britain's economic ideological and strategic vulnerabilities Azeem Ibrahim identifies the essential building blocks of renewal. Drawing on the realist school of strategic thought he outlines a programme of legal bureaucratic and fiscal reforms that will allow a genuinely independent Britain to capitalise on its core strengths. After all as a lean and specialised nuclear power with one of the world's most sophisticated intelligence networks as well as world-class universities and a cultural reach second only to the US the UK can still shape global affairs.A Greater Britain argues that a clear strategic anchor and bold leadership are needed if the UK is to convert its advantages into real influence. By formulating a pioneering Knowledge Power Doctrine the book offers a grand strategy for a once powerful nation providing nothing short of a roadmap back to British greatness.
