The Limited Capacity of Management to Rescue UK Defence Policy: a Review and a Word of Caution
The limited capacity of management to rescue UK defence policy: a review and a word of caution TREVOR TAYLOR* The three dimensions of defence In terms of press coverage and political debate, the story of British defence since the end of the Cold War has been marked by three themes: policy (direction and review), management (shortcomings and initiatives), and military opera- tions, although academic studies and courses tend to neglect the management domain.1 In principle, these three elements should be closely linked, with policy defining the evolving state of the world and constraining the direction of the country’s military response, management delivering the leadership, organiza- tion and coordination to build the forces to enable the policy to be implemented, and military operations being undertaken in line with the policy guidance and management preparations made. In practice, however, there have been significant disjunctions between the operations mounted and the policy and management. Military operations launched since 1990 have all been something of a surprise, most of them requiring significant extra funding to be obtained through Urgent Operational Requirements (UORs) to enhance and modify British capabilities before the operations could begin. The concept of Force Elements at Readiness (FE@R), the key output of the mainstream defence budget, came to be recognized in the MoD as of only limited utility unless consideration of the specific attributes of a particular adversary, the physical environment of the envisaged operation and the contribution of allies were also included in the equation. Also, in some cases a policy decision associated with specific changes in military posture was significantly undermined or even contradicted by events.

TRANSFORMATION TRANSFORMED: THE ^ WAR ON TERROR' AND THE .MODERNISATION OF THE BRITISH MILITARY ' By SAMUEL LYON B.A., University of Oxford, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR- THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Political Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA August 2006 © Samuel Lyon, 2006 • 11 ABSTRACT This thesis assesses the transformation of the British Military from the mid-1990s up until the current day. It addresses how the end of the Cold War brought a change in what was demanded of the British Armed Forces, and that since then, those Forces have adapted to that changed demand, altering their structure, tactics and equipment in order to deal with these new tasks and to exploit technological changes. Yet, as this thesis explores, transformation has not proceeded at a uniform pace, with the British experiencing several stages of transformative progress, and some of regress. Starting with the Strategic Defence Review of 1998, this thesis traces the overall picture of transformation in the United Kingdom, looking at how it is managed, why it occurred, and where it is going. In particular though, it focuses on the stops and starts in the transformative process, and connects these primarily to the consequences of the Blair Government's most important decision of all its time in power - being America's closest ally after the terror attacks of September 11th 2001. Following these commitments, Britain committed to an even greater transformation of its military, set out in the Strategic Defence Review: A New Chapter in 2002.

Strategic Defence Review 1998: Politics, Power and Influence in Government Decisions1
Strategic Defence Review 1998: Politics, Power and Influence in Government Decisions1 Robert Grattan, Faculty of Business and Law, Bristol Business School, UWE, Bristol, UK Nicholas O’Regan, Faculty of Business and Law, Bristol Business School, UWE, Bristol, UK Glenn Parry (Corresponding author), Faculty of Business and Law, Bristol Business School, UWE, Bristol, UK Article Running Head: Strategic Defence Review 1998 Main Message: Politics, power and influence impact upon strategy as demonstrated in this work where the intention to produce a foreign policy based Strategic Defence Review was forgone during last minute adjustments and compromises over money. Key Points: The 1998 Strategic Defence Review was conducted using logical analysis of foreign policy to identify requirements, but final costs exceeded funding allowed by the Treasury so changes were made. The success of individuals in a strategic process is a function of the power they can wield directly and the support that they can muster. Strategic aspirations are always bounded by resource limitations so managers may have to make changes, however rigorous and logical their arguments. 1 J.E.L. classification codes: D21; D83; MOO; M21; Z18 Introduction This paper seeks to present an overview of the UK Strategic Defence Review [SDR] 1997/98 from a strategy process perspective and adopts a view of SDR as an attempt to form strategy through discourse. SDR was a fine-grained, logical analysis of foreign and defence policy and was a response mechanism similar to that used by large organisations and governmental bodies when determining future strategic direction. The actual policies relating to defence that emerged are not considered, as content has been separated from process.

The Defence White Paper 17 SEPTEMBER 2004
RESEARCH PAPER 04/71 The Defence White Paper 17 SEPTEMBER 2004 In December 2003 the Ministry of Defence published its Defence White Paper Delivering Security in a Changing World. Following the Strategic Defence Review (SDR) in 1998 and the SDR New Chapter in July 2002, the White Paper sets out the MOD’s analysis of the future security environment and the UK’s strategic priorities in light of this assessment. It is generally regarded as a statement of policy against which decisions on the size and shape of the Armed Forces will be made. This paper outlines the main elements of the Defence White Paper and examines some initial comments. It should be read in conjunction with Library Research Paper RP04/72 The Defence White Paper: Future Capabilities which outlines the specific changes to force structures as a result of the conclusions of the White Paper.
