A Failure of Strategy? The perpetual formulation/implementation disjuncture in British defence policy

4 Jun 2026, 09:00

Description

Debates about British strategy making date back to the previous Labour government and have been a regular area of debate ever since. This is often identified as a failure to marry 'ends', 'ways' and 'means' and thus of policy formulation. Rather less attention has been given to the implementation dynamic. Using a series of case studies this paper looks at the challenge of implementation identifying the factors that contribute to the mismatch between policy formulation and implementation.
