Formerly the Centre for Foreign Policy Studies. It is a network of scholars from political science, history, sociology, and law, and professionals from government service, the military and other fields.
Explores the intersections of security and development, e.g., environmental disruptions that trigger conflicts over natural resources and the spread of disease across national boundaries. Seeks to foster and maintain network connections between experts, facilitate research collaboration, help secure and administer grants and contracts, host conferences and outreach activities, and publish and promote the results of this work, in print and on-line.
