Great article. Excellent synthesis of historical British strengths with revised applicability in the modern era.

Great article - the author offers sharp historical insights to help shape future British policy - hopefully this is picked up by policy makers and receives the praise it deserves.

This article offers a clear, historically grounded and timely argument for a renewed British grand strategy in Europe.

It draws on Britain’s proven tradition of maritime power, geoeconomic leverage and coalition leadership, whilst avoiding nostalgia. Instead, presents Balance of Power 2.0 as a credible, NATO-aligned framework for modern deterrence.

It is strategically literate and highly relevant to today’s security environment, whilst giving a thoughtful and persuasive contribution to a contemporary defence debate.
