Programme of events
Situated in Whitehall and within walking distance of all the major government departments, the Institute is ideally placed to attract high-quality speakers and participants at its events. These vary in size and format from set piece lectures to conferences, seminars, round table meetings and workshops.
Conference: Unfolding Instability in Kashmir- A Blind Spot in Regional Security?
09:30, 24 Nov 2008, RUSI, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET
The Kashmir Region has been afflicted recently by a rapid upsurge in civil violence. On the military front, exchanges of fire across the Line of Control have increased significantly, threatening to escalate into a broader scale confrontation between India and Pakistan. There are few signs of an impending resolution to the Kashmir dispute despite recent confidence-building measures and local leaders remain embroiled in a vicious cycle of distrust, fear and recrimination.

09:00, 27 Nov 2008, RUSI, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET
The aim of this conference is to establish the nature of the United Kingdom’s actual military strategy, as opposed to the broadly stated defence policy, and to examine how this strategy can be effectively delivered.
Event: Frontline Insights: The Royal Navy and Task Force Operations in The Persian Gulf
12:15, 1 Dec 2008, RUSI, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET

Event: Taiwan's New Security Predicament
09:30, 2 Dec 2008, RUSI, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET
In recent weeks, China and Taiwan have reached historic milestones during an unprecedented thaw in the eight-year deep freeze in relations between Beijing and Taipei. By comparison with nervous uncertainty across the Taiwan Strait early this year there are now high expectations for continued rapprochement.
RUSI Middle East Forum - The Second Iraqi State: Prospects and Challenges
13:00, 8 Dec 2008, RUSI, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET
The first Iraqi state, midwifed by the British, was born in 1921 and was destroyed in 2003 with the US-led invasion and occupation of the country. Between these times, Iraqis more or less ran the country, but ultimately with disastrous consequences for state and society.

Emergency Response 2008
08:30, 11 Dec 2008, RUSI, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET
Preparing for emergencies and managing the emergency when it happens is a multi-staged process, with each stage being vital to the success of the operation. The ability to make effective emergency plans is dependent on realistic and relevant training. All the responder agencies need to know what resources are available, how these resources can be integrated and consolidated, and how their organisations will work together on the day.
Event: Defence Project Management Seminar Series: Leadership In Collaborative Programme Management
09:00, 15 Dec 2008, RUSI, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET
The Defence Industrial Strategy (DIS) identified long-term partnering arrangements and consortia as the key to ensuring the future health of the UK’s Defence Industrial Base. As the current size of the future equipment plan is not sufficient to sustain an array of competing industrial players, joint ventures, coupled with an emphasis on through-life support, should allow all factions access to dwindling financial resources. It is a case of collaboration or bankruptcy.
Event: Whitehall Dialogue: Keeping the Lights On
12:45, 16 Dec 2008, RUSI, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET
Presentation by Gordon Campbell, recently Chairman of British Nuclear Fuels Limited (BNFL) on the threats and solutions to energy security.

Conference: RUSI Air Power Conference 2009
08:00, 8 - 9 Jul 2009, RUSI, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET
After concentrating on Western actors for a number of years, the 2009 RUSI Air Power Conference will shift its focus to the Eastern Hemisphere of the globe. Moving from issues of specific interest to the British, US and European militaries, the 2009 Conference will instead encompass the views of those in the Asian, Indian and Pacific regions. These regions are set to become the dominant economic, political and security areas of this century and the event will provide a timely insight into Air Power topics 'East of Suez'.
