Future worlds, future security threats

We live in a world that seems to be changing faster than ever, which is simultaneously inter-connected and inter-dependent to an unprecedented degree, and where the only certainty seems to be uncertainty. This lecture will look forward 40 years and offer some thoughts on world-wide, strategic trends in issues such as politics, economics and the movement of goods, people and, increasingly, information to offer a view on what threats there might be to future security in the widest possible sense. The session will comprise a lecture of around an hour followed by the opportunity for questions and discussion.
