<title>24  November 2011 - Discussion Meeting - Private Maritime Security: Saviour or Sinner?</title>
<description>Prime Minister David Cameron last month suggested armed guards would be permitted on British-flagged vessels passing through pirate-infested waters. Other nations have either already done the same or are contemplating it, inspired by the fact that no vessel with armed guards embarked has yet been pirated. But armed security guards bring with them questions about privatisation of military tasks, risks to crew and captain.</description>

<title>16 November 2011 - Discussion Meeting - The Maritime Dimension of the Libyan Conflict</title>
<description>The recent conflict in Libya involved a significant commitment of British military assets under the aegis of Operation Ellamy. While the no-fly zone and air strikes were broadly covered in the international media, the maritime component was less well-reported.

<title>Pyongyang should pay for the food it seeks</title>
<description>In the October-November issue of Survival, Mark Fitzpatrick discusses the inherent contradiction of a heavily-armed nation with a nuclear programme asking for assistance in feeding its population. Although he stresses that it would be a violation of humanitarian donorship principles to use food assistance as a political bargaining chip, he says skilful international diplomacy can at least get North Korea talking  rather than busying itself with provocative attacks.</description>

<title>06 October 2010 - Discussion Meeting - The Rapidly Melting Arctic: Opportunity or Danger?</title>
<description>David Fairhall, former defence correspondent for the Guardian, discussed the themes of his recent book 'Cold Front'. As the ice cap shrinks, the entire Arctic geography is changing - clear shipping channels and opening up hitherto tinaccessible oil resources. Investigating the Arctic's pivotal role in international relations, Fairhall weighed the huge opportunities for trade and transport against the dangers of Arctic conflict.</description>

<title>07 September 2010 - IISS Book Launch - Strategic Survey 2010</title>
<description>The IISS launched Strategic Survey 2010, its annual review of world affairs, on 7 September. In presenting the book's main arguments, IISS Director-General and Chief Executive Dr John Chipman suggested a rethink of the West's counter-insurgency plan in Afghanistan was needed. The current strategy, he said, was 'too ambitious, too removed from the core security goals that need to be met, and too sapping of diplomatic and military energies needed both in the region and elsewhere'.</description>
