In this video, we look at some major security problems. Some problems are genuinely new, and need to be thought about. Others are examples of old problems in a new guise, or new problems being assimilated into older ways of thinking. It is suggested that the major security problems of the future will come from the progressive disintegration of the liberal democratic state, not just in Europe but, more importantly, in Africa and the Middle east. The future may belong to organisations like the Islamic State.
