International Institute for Strategic Studies - US (Washington)

About the IISS-US:

The International Institute for Strategic Studies - US was established on 1 July 2001 as a non-profit, tax-exempt organisation incorporated in the District of Columbia.

The IISS-US office represents and promotes the Institute in the United States across the full breadth of its activities: maintaining relationships with the strategic studies community and with government agencies; liaising with the media; and serving the individual and corporate membership of the IISS in the United States. Our purpose is to bring the very international flavour, perspective, contacts and programmes of the IISS to an American audience, and to provide for that audience a window on a wider world of strategic debate.

The IISS-US will also develop a new range of research programmes, based in the United States, on matters of regional security and related policy themes.
