Prospects for security and defence in 2016.

Significance

In 2016, security and defence issues will again feature prominently in global headlines. Russia's military resurgence -- highlighted through Moscow's interventions in Syria and Ukraine -- and the increasingly critical struggle against Islamic State group (ISG) are set to dominate. Militaries will need to be flexible, combining not only cyber-defence and intelligence, but also conventional forces.
