Enlightenment Evening: Towards A New Sanctions Framework

​Another paper, another Enlightenment Evening! Join us on Tuesday, 9th September for a discussion on the future of economic sanctions.

​​We’ll be discussing our recently released policy paper Financial Five Eyes: Towards A New Sanctions Framework.

​As global politics becomes more unstable, enemies of liberty and progress seek to undermine liberal democracies. They're also finding new ways to circumvent economic sanctions, a core element in the toolkit of deterrence wielded by the UK. How can we innovate our sanctions regime to keep up with the times and keep our deterrents, well, deterrent?

​​We’re delighted to be hosting our panellists: the Rt. Hon. Sir Robert Buckland KBE KC (former Lord Chancellor), Dr. Neil Shastri-Hurst MP (Conservative MP for Solihull West and Shirley) and Maxwell Marlow (Director of Public Affairs at the Adam Smith Institute).

​​Doors open at 6pm for a sharp 6.30pm start. 20-minute panel discussion followed by 10–15 minutes of Q&A.

Date: Tuesday, 9th September 2025
Time: 6:00-8:00pm (no earlier!)
