Adelphi series
The adelphi series is The International Institute for Strategic Studies’ flagship contribution to policy-relevant, original academic
research.
Eight books are published each year. They provide rigorous analysis of contemporary strategic and defence topics that is useful to
politicians and diplomats, as well as academic researchers, foreign-affairs analysts, defence commentators and journalists.
Building Peace After War
Mats Berdal, King’s College London, UK
The widespread practice of
external intervention aimed at
building ‘sustainable peace’
within societies ravaged by war
and violence has been a striking
feature of the post-Cold War
era. This book examines the
record of such interventions,
from Cambodia in the early
1990s to ongoing efforts in
Afghanistan and the
Democratic Republic of the
Congo. It examines the variety
of forms that these interventions have taken and
identifies the sources of success and failure in individual
cases.

The Future of Asia-Pacific Sea
Power
Geoffrey Till, Joint Services Command and Staff
College / Defence Studies, Kings College London, UK
Navies are going through a period of radical change, in
large part due to new technologies and the effects of
globalization. In this changing strategic context, a
collaborative approach to maintaining good order at sea
needs to be sustained, by navies acting with, rather than
against each other, by the development of specialized
fleets, and by the acceptance of shared R&D and
production in naval equipment.
This Adelphi will explore the tensions between these
approaches, with particular reference to the naval
interactions of the United States, China, Japan and India,
especially in the waters around Southeast and Northeast
Asia.

The Future of Conflict
H.R. McMaster, IISS, London, UK
A fundamentally flawed and ahistorical vision of future
conflict that de-emphasises the human, psychological,
political and cultural dimensions of war persists in
strategic thought in spite of recent experience. This
paper challenges the widely held belief that
‘revolutionary’ surveillance, information-gathering and
precision-strike technologies will permit modern military
forces to win future wars rapidly and efficiently.

The uS Role in the World
Patrick M. Cronin, International Institute for
Strategic Studies, UK
The United States continues to be the dominant military
power on the international stage. But dominance is not
what it used to be; America has had a difficult time
translating its preponderance into influence.
This Adelphi explores how part of the solution to the
US’s difficulties may be found in adopting an approach
of strategic restraint; aiming to manage disorder rather
than striving to solve too many of the world’s ills.
