As the geopolitical environment worsens, the United Kingdom (UK) needs clear and fresh thinking to protect its way of life and economic wellbeing, strengthen national security and maximise the power of its alliances.
As a next-generation think tank, the Council on Geostrategy provides new geostrategic thinking for a more competitive age. We focus on shaping British strategic ambition in the international environment increasingly defined by geopolitical competition and the environmental crisis in a way that empowers the United Kingdom to succeed and prosper in the 21st century. We advocate for a strong UK, working closely with allies and partners, to uphold a free and open international order – for a more secure and prosperous future.
The Council on Geostrategy, unlike many other international policy think tanks, has been established to do applied geopolitical analysis, rather than reactively transitioning to the changing threat environment.
