Research 2030Bye, bye, blue sky?

And with public research funding under pressure and universities facing calls to focus on practical skills, is it living on borrowed time?

Gresham College LecturesStrategy and DemocracyTHE 2018 PETER NAILOR MEMORIAL LECTURE ON DEFENCEToday's cry in democratic states, and not just from representatives of populist parties, is government with the people rather than government for the people. This presents a problem for issues of war and strategy. Presidents and Prime Ministers, in presenting their decisions to their electorates, use rhetoric borrowed from the Second World War, although they are not committing their states to wars on that scale. The declared ends do not match the means. The result is public confusion and strategic failure.Hosted by the Mercers' Company.2018-10-2958 min
