Public Policy
The Public Policy initiative will focus on the government's performance in addressing national security issues and in implementing the National Security Strategy.
The initiative will be led by Margaret Gilmore, who takes up a position as Senior Research Fellow at RUSI. She will provide regular briefings and research papers to examine how the machinery of government performs in this field. She will work with the National Security and Resilience Department of the Institute and will also collaborate with other parts of the Institute to bring together all RUSI's considerable research and networking resources on governmental security policies.
