It is a matter of pride for GBCORP to be chosen as a location for a globally respected organization whose research and activities have far-reaching impact both regionally and globally. IISS' decision to set up their Middle East base in Bahrain and operate out of the GBCORP Tower is a testament to our strategic location and the multi level integrated facilities on offer, which are among the best on the island and at par with international standards. We are
  • 19 Nov 2009 - Al Bawaba - IISS signs up with GB Corp HE Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa, Foregin Minister of Bahrain and Dr John Chipman, Director General and Chief Executive, IISSThe office in GBCORP Tower will be the base for the IISS’s many research programmes and activities throughout the region and will serve to connect IISS activities in Europe, North America and Asia with those in the Middle East.

  • 30 Sep 2009 - - Time - How Badly Would Sanctions on Gas Imports Hurt Iran? IISS Logo"The Qom revelation is bound to make the (six powers) more united and determined to persuade Iran to desist and abide by IAEA rules. It certainly puts Iran on the defensive," said Mark Fitzpatrick, senior non-proliferation scholar at London's International Institute for Strategic Studies.
  • 30 Sep 2009 - - Agence France Presse - Iran under the spotlight in crucial nuclear talks IISS LogoThe belated disclosure has also heightened suspicions that Iran is seeking the capability to make atomic weapons, said Mark Fitzpatrick, an expert on nuclear non-proliferation at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London.
  • 29 Sep 2009 - - Foreign Policy in Focus - The Hayden Letter Global Strategic Review 2009The general has an awfully tin ear for the public. At a mid-September conference in Geneva sponsored by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Hayden argued that besides the usual technical and legal considerations, intelligence activities need to be "politically sustainable." The CIA interrogation program was inherently controversial because it went against the grain of traditional American values — it was never politically sustainable. The notion that refusing to investigate these excesses can
  • 29 Sep 2009 - - Guardian - Conservatives back military's calls to send more troops to Afghanistan Dr Liam Fox MP - "Beyond the Smoke: Making Progress in Afghanistan”Liam Fox, the shadow defence secretary, said a Tory government would be "sympathetic" to requests from Nato for more British troops. He told the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London it was essential that the government provide the resources to enable the mission in Afghanistan to succeed. If it failed, it would be down to the politicians at home, and not the troops on the frontline.
  • 29 Sep 2009 - - Times - Tories would send 2,500 more troops to Afghanistan, says Liam Fox Dr Liam Fox MP - "Beyond the Smoke: Making Progress in Afghanistan”Claiming that continued British involvement in Afghanistan was a “national security imperative”, Dr Fox told an audience at the International Institute for Strategic Studies: “A Conservative government would be sympathetic to a request for an increase in the number of British troops to help expedite the training of Afghan security forces.”
  • 29 Sep 2009 - - Independent - Liam Fox: History does not show that war in Afghanistan is unwinnable Dr Liam Fox MP - "Beyond the Smoke: Making Progress in Afghanistan”We can describe failure in Afghanistan, but can we describe success? What does our idea of winning look like? Success in Afghanistan will be achieved when we have a stable enough Afghanistan, able to manage its own internal and external security to a degree that stops interference from outside powers and allowing the country to resist the establishment of terror bases and the training camps that were there before.
