We believe Ireland has a unique global brand as a smaller even-handed nation with balanced foreign policy approaches and strong moral or soft power.
It is an open global economy that is host to leading interdisciplinary expertise – it supports the international rules-based order, pursues a militarily neutral/non-aligned defence policy and works with like-minded foreign policy and economic partners.
Based in Ireland, our goal is to create a body of applied analysis and collaborative initiatives to engage independently with other states facing similar national and global challenges.
We believe that our forum can provide a distinctive – and sometimes small state – contribution to national and international discussions on modern risks.
