is an Islamabad based strategic think-tank that specializes in policy

research on WMDs, nuclear non-prolifera�on, arms control and strategic

stability issues. The Center promotes a be�er understanding of interna�onal

strategic issues both within Pakistan and abroad. We feel that there is a need

now, more than ever before, for objec�ve and impar�al analyses and

assessments of interna�onal issues from a Pakistani perspec�ve.

Since its establishment, in 2010, as an independent and non-par�san think-

tank, CISS has generated vigorous debate, and discussion, on interna�onal

strategic issues at na�onal level and in collabora�on with renowned

interna�onal think-tanks and visi�ng scholars. The center provides its well-

considered assessment to the collec�ve pool of research and analysis in

Pakistan through credible and serious research on a whole array of

interna�onal strategic issues.
