The National Security Strategy: One Year On
27 April 2009
Central London

This conference is taking place as part of ippr’s independent Commission on National Security in the 21st Century, co-chaired by Lord Paddy Ashdown and Lord George Robertson, which publishes its final report on 30th June 2009.

Following in the footsteps of the United States, France and the Netherlands, and in response to a rapidly changing international security landscape, the UK government published its first National Security Strategy in March 2008. The Strategy sought to bring together the plans and objectives of all governmental departments in order to establish how the government could coherently address the emerging and interconnected threats and risks to UK national security. One year on, this high-level conference offers a unique opportunity to reflect upon the National Security Strategy by bringing together expert policy-makers, practitioners and academics in order to:

• Discuss the government’s approach to security, as laid out in the March ’08 strategy
• Consider how far the strategy has been operationalised during its first year
• Identify the key domestic and international security challenges that lie ahead for the UK.

A full programme for the conference will be available shortly. More details, including a speaker list, can be found here.

Security Lectures

Running alongside the Commission’s work, ippr is hosting a series of high-level security lectures from key policymakers. The events are intended to be major policy statements and, as such, significant contributions to public debate in their own right. Read More.
