Global Axess 2024 – Mick Ryan: The Mobilisation Trinity: People, Industry, Ideas
Every responsible national government must achieve a balance of national prosperity and security. In the wake of the Cold War, this was a relatively simple task, as the threat of nuclear and large-scale conventional war receded, military budgets could be significantly reduced. In the past decade, however, the rise of Chinese and Russian power, and the resultant increase in instability in the global security environment, has meant that governments must now turn their attention to achieving a different 21stcentury balance of prosperity and security. Defence and intelligence budgets must inevitably rise to counter the threat of military, economic and information operations being conducted by an axis of authoritarians. To achieve this balance will require more than just re-apportioning government budgets. It will require a more holistic approach to mobilising national capacity to ensure not only that national sovereignty is preserved, but that democracy itself survives into the next century. As such, these efforts may necessitate a modern form of national mobilisation. The key elements and implications of national mobilisation (for deterrence primarily, but also for fighting wars if deterrence fails) will be explored through the lens of the ‘Mobilisation Trinity’: people, industry, and ideas.
