Our Work

We facilitate imaginative thinking, problem-solving, and dialogue on otherwise intractable security policy issues of global concern.

Education & Training

We train students and security professionals from across U.S. government and select international partners. Our programs develop deep knowledge and practical analytical skills.

Research

We support cutting edge research on national security policy from highly distinguished scholars. Our scholars and policy affiliates also provide research services on vital issues of national security directly to the U.S. government.

Policy Engagement

We develop “constructive counterparts” within the U.S. government and convene meetings with academics and government officials to discuss pressing security issues.
