General Adrian Bradshaw, Governor of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, will explore the challenges to peace and security in a world of war and instability, and against the backdrop of the struggle for ascendancy between democracies and dictatorships. He will draw upon his wide operational military experience from the tactical to the strategic levels, in Peace support, Counter Terrorist, Counter Insurgency and Warfighting Operations worldwide, and will explain why it is urgent that the ‘West’ rediscovers the art of ‘Grand Strategy’. He will comment on challenges to our security from autocracies, theocracies and bureaucracies, and the dangers of allowing our values to be undermined from within, and he will explore Deterrence in an era of Hybrid threats.
