Is Britain’s Power Diminishing?

From New Delhi, Beijing and Wash-ington, Daily Telegraph correspon-dent Peter Foster has reported the world for a British audience. But what these readers do not necessarily get, he increasingly worries, is just how insignificant their own country risks becoming.

FACING FACTS examines where today's United Kingdom really stands in the world. Bringing together insights from current and former British and foreign officials, think tankers and pundits, it paints a picture of a nation which really doesn't know what it wants. And one which the world may, he warns, simply wind up ignoring.

The Project for Study of the 21st Century is a new global think tank for a new global era. Non-national, non-ideologi-cal and non-partisan, it aims to study the big issues of the age through content people and discussions they remember.
