Partners

Cooperation agreements and partnerships, both formal and informal, are central to the Institute for Security and Development Policy (ISDP) and its research. At present, cooperation is ongoing with a large number of research institutes both in Asia and Europe. Furthermore, we strive to create and encourage the continuous development and expansion of our current relationships while fostering new ones with a diverse range of research institutes and universities.

The Silk Road Studies Program constitutes a Joint Center with the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute at the American Foreign Policy Council.
