The Institute warmly acknowledges the generosity of PricewaterhouseCoopers in sponsoring this Annual Report

‘ I was delighted to be able to make my speech “Environment: The Next Steps” at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, earlier this year. The organization and support were excellent and I would like to wish all those at Chatham House every success in the year to come.’ Tony Blair, UK Prime Minister

The Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA) is a globally renowned centre of excellence for the research, analysis and discussion of international affairs. The Institute is membership-based and aims to help individuals and organizations to be at the forefront of developments in an ever-changing and increasingly complex world. The RIIA is independent of government, does not owe allegiance to any political party and is precluded by its Charter from having an institutional view. Opinions expressed in publications or at meetings are those of the authors and speakers concerned.

sustainable organization. The key development was the appointment of Professor Victor Bulmer-Thomas as the Institute’s new Director. We were delighted to welcome such a distinguished figure and have been greatly encouraged by Professor Bulmer-Thomas’s clear understanding of the Institute and the needs of its members. He is committed to our future success and is demonstrating the strength of leadership required to achieve it. Competition for funds in the field of international affairs is on the increase; therefore the Institute must be dedicated to delivering significantly enhanced value to policy-makers, to business and to society at large. This means a renewed commitment to build on the strengths

and success, we must – and will – strive relentlessly to improve the Institute’s financial standing. The year under review closed with an operating deficit. This is unavoidable while Chatham House is undergoing restructuring, but it cannot be sustained indefinitely. Fundraising remains crucial and will be undertaken in more consistent and creative ways in the future. In welcoming Professor Bulmer-Thomas, I also acknowledge with thanks the role played by his predecessor, Dr Chris Gamble, who left in March 2001. Our people and their professionalism are the key to the success of Chatham House and I thank them for their efforts and achievements, which are detailed elsewhere in this report.
