The Global Strategy Institute

The CSIS Global Strategy Institute is dedicated to promoting far-sighted thinking about the looming challenges ahead and the strategic solutions necessary to face them. In today’s complex, fast-paced world, it is more difficult than ever for leaders to look beyond short-term pressures and consider the bigger picture. The Global Strategy Institute encourages long-range vision by analyzing global trends and offering executive education seminars that connect leaders to the cutting-edge thinking at CSIS. To that end, the Global Strategy Institute is engaged in a number of exciting projects and initiatives:

Seven Revolutions
The Seven Revolutions initiative examines seven key global trends that will shape the world and challenge world leaders through the year 2025 and beyond.

Seven Futures
The Seven Futures initiative explores the alternative “futures” of seven key regions of the world, focusing on the specific policy challenges facing each region in the coming decades.

Global Water Futures
The Global Water Futures program seeks to generate fresh thinking and concrete policy recommendations on how the United States can better address the growing imbalance between global water supply and demand.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies

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 decisionmakers. 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.

Founded in 1962 by David M. Abshire and Admiral Arleigh Burke, CSIS is a bipartisan, nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. with more than 220 full-time staff and a large network of affiliated experts. Former U.S. senator Sam Nunn became chairman of the CSIS Board of Trustees in 1999, and John J. Hamre has led CSIS as its president and chief executive officer since April 2000.
