Analysis

Finding reliable information for the British American Project (BAP) prove to be a difficult task. Not only was there a ban on journalists attending the conference,unless having been invited as a fellow, little has been said by former fellows other than it was a positive experience and a great opportunity to develop social capital.

BAP was founded in 1985 as a means of countering Anti american sentiment within British intellectual spheres. Anti American sentiment could be seen as having a basis in their continued pursuit of nuclear proliferation and Regans . The aim of the annual conferences was to try and counter any Left leaning sentiment amongst future influential individuals and foster shared values between both sides of the Atlantic.
