The Henry Jackson Society (HJS) is a trans-Atlanticforeign policy and national securitythink tank, based in the United Kingdom. While describing itself as non-partisan, its outlook has been described variously as right-wing,[1][2][3][4]neoliberal,[5][6] and neoconservative.[7][8][9] The Society identifies itself with a "forward strategy" to spread democracy and liberal values globally.[10] It is currently focused primarily on supporting global democracy in the face of threats from China and Russia.[11][12][failed verification] The Society is also known for its reports related to Islamic[13] and far-right extremism.[14] The Society is named after the US Senator and leading Democrat, Henry M. Jackson. American political journalist, Michael Allen, described the society as "a non-partisan group that convenes transatlantic center-left, center-right and independent figures committed to Jackson's legacy of 'democratic geopolitics.'"[15]
