Fortress Falklands and a Shrinking Defence Budget: Where do we go from here?

Oct 17, 2013 | Archive, Past Events

In a time of constrained defence budgets, the Bow Group calls a debate on the strategic utility of our presence in the Falkland Islands and what measures may be taken to reduce tensions over the region between Britain and Argentina.

The debate shall discuss the current strategic situation, the importance of Britain being able to project hard and soft power into the South Atlantic and the Antarctic region, the current break down of relations over energy reserves in the Continental Shelf, and how Britain should proceed.

Guests include:

Admiral Sir Jonathon Band GCB DL (Flag Lieutenant to CINCFLEET during the Falklands War and First Sea Lord from 2006-09)

Michael Codner (Military Sciences at RUSI)


Thursday 7th November, Evening, Room to be announced (probably a Parliamentary Committee Room)
