Our Three Key Priorities The Stimson Center’s work is focused on three priorities that are essential to global security: strengthening institutions for international peace and security, building regional security, and reducing threats of weapons of mass destruction. The Center’s approach is pragmatic — geared toward providing policy alternatives, solving problems, and overcoming obstacles to a more peaceful and secure world. Through in-depth research and analysis, we seek first to understand and illuminate complex issues. By taking a crossdisciplinary, integrated approach, we uncover fresh insights and develop new knowledge. By engaging policymakers, policy implementers, and nongovernmental institutions as well as other experts, we craft recommendations that are cross-partisan, actionable, and effective.
Strengthening Institutions for International Peace and Security Whether the concern is preventing the spread of disease, protecting civilian populations from violence, or securing our homeland from terrorism, effective institutions are essential. They must be clear in their missions, equipped and trained for their roles, and capable of successful collaboration with other key agents. The Center focuses on research and analysis of the capabilities of key institutions along with practical recommendations for improvement. Strengthening United Nations’ peacekeeping operations, improving Congressional oversight of international security, and documenting best practices and lessons-learned for first responders are just a few of the Center’s ongoing projects.
P r a g m a t i c S t e ps T o w a r d Id e a l Ob j e c t i v e s
In developing and balancing its work, the Center strives to be at once relevant and helpful to today’s policy challenges, yet anticipatory in highlighting long-term strategic issues that can be easily lost in the press of short-term concerns.
Building Regional Security The Stimson Center’s regional security program focuses on the multi-dimensional security challenges confronting Asia. Combining the expertise of seasoned regional specialists with functional experts, Stimson Center programming spans the continent from the Persian Gulf nations of Southwest Asia to Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. Current projects address proliferation threats in India, Pakistan, and Korea; explore the political and security impact of China’s economic dynamism on its neighbors and imagine alternative futures; and analyze the impact should the nations of the Persian Gulf turn to China, in lieu of the United States, as the partner of choice for security, trade, and economic development.
Reducing Threats of Weapons of Mass Destruction Always a central focus of the Stimson Center’s work, preventing the spread of nuclear and biological weapons has assumed new and even more critical importance as our nation responds to the spread of global terrorism. While both sides of the aisle agree that “threat reduction” programs are the most effective means to minimize the risk of catastrophic terrorism, these programs are stymied by administrative impediments. Working closely with the private sector in the US and the former Soviet Union, Stimson experts are leading a multifaceted program to accelerate existing threat reduction efforts, and design new projects aimed at more rapidly and sustainably securing dangerous weapons, materials, and expertise. In India and Pakistan, Stimson is working closely and successfully with government leaders to put in place essential nuclear risk reduction measures. Looking to future challenges, Stimson experts are leading the efforts to ensure that outer space remains a weapons-free sanctuary.
