10:15 Plenary Roundtable: Imagining A More Inclusive Security Agenda
Plenary Roundtable: Imagining A More Inclusive Security Agenda (Towards a More Secure World: Conflict, Insecurity and Vulnerability)
10:15 - 11:45
Rita Dove is attributed with saying that “you have to imagine it possible before you can see it”. Imagining the possibility of a more inclusive security agenda is challenging within the restrictions of the current political landscape. As Rethinking Security has showed, the British 2024 election manifestos boasted an emphasis on security, from food security, energy and environmental security to border and international security, yet the plans sketched out in the manifestos are arguably neither imaginative nor inclusive. This roundtable brings together scholars, NGOs and civil society actors for a conversation on what an inclusive security agenda might actually look like, in terms of the processes of policy formulation as well as in terms of its contents. Building on a critique of existing policies, the point of this roundtable is to be imaginative, to transcend the mental restraints of what appears ‘feasible’. The roundtable discusses visions for what inclusive could mean in the context of British security policies, even while remaining reflective of the multiple challenges such a vision faces from entrenched power structures.
