Dear Sir or Ma’am,

 

DEFENCE ACADEMY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM – ANNUAL CONFERENCE “PUTTING MODERN DETERRENCE INTO PRACTICE” 22-23 MAY 19

 

• Please find this diary marker regarding the Defence Academy’s Annual Conference, which takes place on 22-23 May 19 for your consideration. 

 

Background

 

• The Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, in association with the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), Deterrence and Assurance Academic Alliance (DAAA) and King’s College London (KCL), will be hosting a conference on 22-23 May 2019 at the Defence Academy, Shrivenham.  The theme of this conference is “Putting Modern Deterrence into Practice.” 

 

• The question the conference will examine is: ‘what are the challenges of putting deterrence into practice in an increasingly complex and interconnected world?’  Overall, we aim to explore the concept and practice of deterrence in the 21st century, including: the challenges of deterrence across multiple domains, involving multiple actors, both state and non-state; the challenges of communication in a networked world; deterrence and alliance cohesion; and the perils of escalation.

 

• Deterrence has risen up policymakers’ agendas around the globe, generating an appetite for deterrence conferences, symposia and fora.  We have crafted a dynamic format for the event, fusing theorists and practitioners through scenario-based interactive sessions.  This format aims to encourage interaction amongst delegates and is a format that has been well-received when previously facilitated by King’s College London.

 

• The conference is being convened by the Defence Academy’s Centre for Defence Educational Research and Analysis (CDERA). To assist with planning and scheduling, the conference will formally commence at 0900hrs on Wednesday 22 May and will conclude mid-afternoon on Thursday 23 May.  An informal meet and greet is planned for delegates who might arrive on the evening of 21 May 19. A dinner will take place on the evening of Wed 22 May.  Confirmed key note speakers are Ambassador Sarah MacIntosh and Gen Hyten Cdr US STRATCOM.  Accommodation will be available on site, should this be required. 

 

• Further detail will be sent out in due course as the conference planning matures.  At this stage I am seeking to ascertain your interest and availability.

 

I very much hope that you would be interested in joining us for what will be an engaging and interactive conference, bringing together those at the cutting edge of deterrence theory and practice.  Please do not hesitate to get in contact with us at DEFAC-JSCSC-DAConference@da.mod.uk if you have any queries regarding this event.  In addition, further details and registration information can be found at:  https://www.da.mod.uk/news/register-now-defence-academy-conference-putting-modern-deterrence-into-practice

 

Kind regards,

 

Greg Cooke
