We must beef up the UN and the EU
Globalisation, if left unmanaged, is a threat to Britain's national security. This is a bald statement, but it is true, and we would be better off as a country if its veracity were more widely accepted and its implications more fully understood. Globalisation may have brought huge benefits to millions of people around the world but it has simultaneously exposed us to new hazards that we are not well placed to meet. We need a new approach aimed squarely at the management of a world in which power is slipping beyond the control of states.

Scoring an own goal
As people tune into Euro 2008 this weekend, many will blame England's absence on the preponderance of foreigners in English football. Only a third of players who started Premier League matches last season were English.Many, including Sepp Blatter, the Fifa president, have started calling for national quotas in professional football. Blatter claims that the increase of foreign nationals in clubs has affected the identity of local teams and the ability of national ones. His view seems to have gained traction, with the FA signalling its potential support for the idea.
