Montrose Journal

Montrose Associates publish an occasional journal, which aims to bring together for Montrose’s friends and clients some of the original thinking going on about international business and politics. Contributors include members of the Advisory Board of Montrose Associates, such as Lord Hurd and Carl Bildt, Lord Holme and Lord Haskins, as well as innovative thinkers from outside Montrose such as Peter Bergen and David Blake, Steve Hilton and Philippe Berend. These essays can also be accessed, a few weeks after their initial publication, on the Montrose website. Please note that articles are not updated and should be understood as applying to the world as it looks at the time of publication.
