Profile
Reading the state and security context around a dispute.
Scott Livingstone CMG OBE is a strategic adviser on geopolitics and global security. He served for 24 years with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, with postings across Asia and in Madrid and senior leadership appointments in London. Before that, he spent twelve years as a Royal Marines officer.
His career was shaped by the security challenges that followed 9/11 – terrorism, cyber and hostile state activity. His service was recognised with an MBE for gallantry in Northern Ireland, an OBE and, in 2021, a CMG for services to British diplomacy.
Within AMROR, Scott brings diplomatic and security judgement to the assessment of complex matters: how states and their agencies are likely to behave, where security risks lie, and how the geopolitical context may affect leverage, enforcement and settlement.
