Think Tanks are powerhouses of ideas, whose sphere of influence reaches and shapes government policies. Thus, think tanks can quietly have a major impact on public life.
Through this Fireside conversation, we delve into the inner workings of a think tank. We explore their innovative research strategies and gain insights into the processes that ensure objectivity while balancing their interests.
Join us in London with special guest Tim Eaton, senior research fellow with Chatham House’s MENA Programme, where we will explore what structures and processes make think tanks the go-to resources for policymakers. We will examine the practicalities of shaping UK foreign policy in a post-Brexit world and ask: How do think tanks influence the foreign policy of the UK?
Tune in for an earnest conversation!

This vertical aims to use sustainable measures of progress, which may be encoded in ancient literature, to challenge both the postmodern upheaval of ideas and also grand institutions like the scientific method.
