Webinar Recording

A top-level discussion bringing together the former Chair of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, a journalist and publisher of Defence Analysis and the Sheriff of the City of London.

This is the second discussion in the Global Britain – Polarisation, Grey Zone and Hybrid Conflict project, part of the Cityforum Intelligent Defence and Smart Power series and will probe what we face, what we could do, and how we could do it. The discussion is being prepared in a way that will give useful thinking to officials, military and politicians, to British businesses and to those from abroad who work in and with the UK. As on the first occasion, this webinar will have an international attendance including a prominent expert on rebuilding troubled states and giving them an economic future.

The series is supported by the Ministry of Defence and involves corporates including BAE Systems and Leidos. The webinar is produced jointly by Cityforum and Z/Yen.
