Global Strategy Forum is an open forum, founded in 2006 and dedicated to the promotion of fresh thinking and active debate on foreign affairs, defence and international security issues. We are an independent, non-party political organisation. We publish commissioned research and we hold a series of lectures and debates in which we regularly seek the views of leading politicians, academics and opinion formers, both in Britain and internationally.
