About Global Strategy Forum
Global Strategy Forum was founded by Michael
Ancram MP and Johan Eliasch in 2006, as a membership-based open forum dedicated
to the promotion of fresh thinking and active debate on foreign affairs,
defence and international security issues. As such, we are an
independent, non-party political organisation.
Michael Ancram (now Lord Lothian) delivered
the Forum’s inaugural lecture in May 2006, entitled ‘A Fork in the Road – sorting out the UK’s defence policy debacle’.
This was subsequently published as a pamphlet and distributed to a wide
readership. Since then, we have held a very successful series of
lunchtime lectures and debate in which we encourage bold, provocative and
challenging thinking from our keynote speakers and lively debate from the
invited audience during the ensuing Q&A session. As a result, our
event are well-attended and often over-subscribed.
