Brzezinski Institute on Geostrategy

Watch full length interview

The mission of the Brzezinski Institute on Geostrategy is to examine the unique interaction of history, geography, and strategy, with a goal of developing policy-relevant analysis and recommendations. Geostrategy incorporates both geopolitics and historically rooted national impulses in the formulation of prescriptive long-term geostrategies. The Institute seeks to further the study of geostrategy and to develop a new generation of strategic policy thinkers in the United States and abroad.

The Institute’s program activities include:

• Research, analysis, and publications by leading scholars at CSIS on issues of geostrategic significance;
• Conferences and public events on key issues related to geostrategy.

Institute Projects

The Brzezinski Institute supports projects focusing on geostrategy, with the goal of developing policy-relevant analysis and recommendations. The choice of the term geostrategy is deliberate. Reaching beyond traditional geopolitics, geostrategy includes the cumulative role of history, of the effects of global political awakening, and of the dramatic transformation in the nature of warfare in the shaping of comprehensive national security policy.
