| Abstract | Abstract : The West is losing the battle of minds against al Qaeda, a toxic ideology. While DIME remains a useful methodology for strategy formulation and resourcing, it is too Jominian to meet the challenge of winning the battle for minds over those that toxic ideologies currently appeal to, and will so in the future. To defeat such ideologies a longer term, multi-generational, strategic model that establishes Security, Re-educates and then Educates future generations is needed. Analysis of al Qaeda, future ideological threats, the US rebalance towards the Asia-Pacific, European experience, British political will, a historical analysis of the re-education of post WWII Germany and Japan, and British societal and educational infrastructure, reveals that the United Kingdom is in prime position to develop an internationally sponsored institution to coordinate a new strategy to defeat the current, and future, toxic ideologies that challenge Minimalist global values and norms. |
