International Security Program

The CSIS International Security Program (ISP) is a constant source of reliable analysis on the threats and opportunities shaping U.S. security interests at home and abroad.
The International Security Program (ISP) boasts a staff of more than 60 in-house scholars and researchers, taking on one of the most robust and ambitious research agendas in the field. Building on a solid foundation of conventional political-military issues, ISP is likewise committed to addressing a growing range of nonmilitary aspects defining U.S. foreign and security policy.
Some of our projects include:
-
The Defense-Industrial Initiatives Group (DIIG) focuses on issues related to the health and management of the global defense-industrial base.
-
The Post-Conflict Reconstruction (PCR) Project is a leading source of analysis and recommendations for fragile states, stabilization efforts, and post-conflict reconstruction.
-
The Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI) aims to build and sustain a networked community of young nuclear experts from the military, national laboratories, industry, academia, and policy communities.
-
The core mission of the Proliferation Prevention Program at CSIS is to help bridge the divides and offer independent research and analysis that help inform and shape effective policies.
-
The U.S. Defense and National Security team provides analysis for U.S. policymakers by focusing on the institutions, processes, and policies that keep the Unites States safe.
The Democracy in U.S. Security Strategy Project helps understand the strategic community’s perceived shortfalls in democracy promotion today and shapes alternatives for how it might be recast.
