Because of this advocacy the society has been called ' Neo-conservative ' for example in '' The Guardian '' newspaper. This charge has been rejected by the society which reaffirmed that it is bi-parisan (although the society does have prominent neo-conservative supporters).

The Society was founded in March 2005 by academics and students at Cambridge (mostly affiliated with the Centre Of International Studies ), including Brendan Simms , Alan Mendoza , James Rogers, Gideon Mailer and Matthew Jamison. It organises speaker meetings in Cambridge , events in the House Of Commons , and hopes to garner backing from across the political spectrum in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe and to use it to increase support for an interventionist foreign policy, which seeks to end suffering and oppression throughout the globe.

It has many high-profile signatories to its statement of principles, including the MPs Michael Ancram , Michael Gove , Edward Vaizey , David Willetts , Denis MacShane , Gisela Stuart , as well as Sir Richard Dearlove — former head of the British Secret Intelligence Service , and presently Master of Pembroke College, Cambridge - and Irwin Stelzer , Rupert Murdoch 's friend. Notable patrons include Richard Perle and William Kristol — two of the leading lights in the American Neoconservative movement, and James Woolsey — former Director of the CIA .
