Biography

The International Institute for Strategic Studies is an independent centre for research, information and debate on

the problems of conflict, however caused, that have, or potentially have, an important military content. The Staff of the Institute is international in composition and IISS work is international in its perspective and reach. The Institute is independent and it alone decides what activities to conduct.

The IISS stresses rigorous fact-based research with a forward looking policy orientation that can improve wider public understanding of international security problems and influence the development of sounder public policy, and more effective business decisions in the international arena.
