Abstract

The issues that form military doctrine and political policies towards international relations are complex. The types of military systems required to enforce these doctrines and policies are predicated on the likely scenarios that states may encounter. It is important, therefore, to have an understanding of where future threats are likely to emerge; only then can coherent strategic doctrine be formulated and the correct military equipment procurement and training policies be implemented. No country or region should be viewed in isolation; rather how they relate to each other should be considered. This is a fundamental premise of international relations. Whether there will be major state-on-state conflicts in the coming epochs is debatable, but is, nonetheless, a major consideration for any government’s military strategy.
