Institute for Statecraft

At least three members of the Institute for Statecraft attended the University of Leicester. Robert Dover, another member, worked as Associate Professor in Intelligence and Security in the School of History, Politics and International Relations, which signed an MOU with the IFS, according to their now defunct website: {{#subobject: |Has superobject=University of Leicester |Has objectClass=Quotation |Has author=Unknown|+sep=, |Has text=““Following discussions in Leicester and London, the School of History, Politics and International Relations has concluded a Memorandum of Understanding with the Institute for Statecraft, an independent body dedicated to refreshing the practice of statecraft, improving governance and enhancing national security.
