That’s all from The Strategist this year. From Monday we’ll be republishing some of our top picks for 2016.

If you need something extra to sate your appetite, head on over to the publications section of ASPI’s website. There you’ll find all of our reports, including some you might have missed in the past few weeks like Defence White Papers at 40; After Mosul: Australia’s strategy to counter the Islamic State; and Digital land power: the Australian Army’s cyber future.

Our sincere thanks for visiting The Strategist this year to keep up with the best analysis and commentary on defence, strategy and international affairs. We’ll be back on 9 January 2017, but until then we wish you and yours all the best for a safe and happy holiday.
