CSIS was launched at the height of the Cold
War, dedicated to the simple but urgent goal of finding ways for
America to survive as a nation and prosper as a people. During the
following four decades, CSIS has grown to become one of the
nation�s and the world�s preeminent public policy institutions
on U.S. and international security.
From its beginning, CSIS has been committed to bipartisan problem
solving. While partisan competition advances ideas, America
prospers when policy leaders develop a consensus across the
political spectrum. CSIS actively unites leaders from both parties
to join in shared problem solving.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) seeks to
advance global security and prosperity in an era of economic and
political transformation by providing strategic insights and
practical policy solutions to decision makers. CSIS serves as a
strategic planning partner for the government by conducting
research and analysis and developing policy initiatives that look
into the future and anticipate change.
CSIS experts conduct research and analysis and develop policy
initiatives that are organized around more than 25 programs
grouped under three themes:
Defense & Security Policy
With one of the most comprehensive programs on U.S. defense policy
and international security, CSIS proposes reforms to U.S. defense
organization, defense policy, and the defense industrial and
technology base. Other CSIS programs offer solutions to the
challenges of proliferation, transnational terrorism, homeland
security, and post-conflict reconstruction.
Global
Challenges
With programs on demographics and population, energy security,
global health, technology, and the international financial and
economic system, CSIS addresses the new drivers of risk and
opportunity on the world stage.
Regional
Transformation
CSIS is the only institution of its kind with resident experts
studying the transformation of all of the world's major geographic
regions. CSIS specialists seek to anticipate changes in key
countries and regions�from Africa to Asia, from Europe to Latin
America, and from the Middle East to North America.
