The Social Affairs Unit addresses social, economic and cultural issues with an emphasis on the value of personal responsibility. They research, challenge and debate issues from welfare to warfare, always seeking to draw out the role of the individual's obligations.
The British Moment: The Case for Democratic Geo-Politics in the Twenty-First Century was published in July 2006 by the conservative Social Affairs Unit think tank. The book argued that 'it is time for Britain, and indeed, the rest of Europe, to reclaim the noble tradition of liberal interventionism and pursue an active strategy across the globe.'

Standpoint
Standpoint is a monthly British cultural and political magazine, first published in Jun.2008. Standpoint is based in London and was co-founded by Daniel Johnson, Miriam Gross, Jonathan Foreman and Michael Mosbacher; Johnson is its editor.
The magazine describes its core mission as being "to celebrate western civilisation", its arts and its values – in particular democracy, debate and freedom of speech – at a time when they are under threat.ref The magazine is broadly centre-right in orientation, but aims to include a "broad church" and to capitalise on the realignment of political attitudes in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The magazine has sought to revive the art of the essay in Britain, calling itself a response to "a market swamped by the journalistic equivalent of fast food".ref
