National Security Working Group
CSSM’s National Security Working Group has been formed to promote the intellectual development and systematic study of national security policy formulation and the broader implications for a range of related policy instruments. Members of the working group bring with them a background in both strategic planning and the facilitation of national security and development processes. The Group responds to requests to facilitate national security planning processes for both bilateral and multilateral partners, and contributes to national security training and education programmes at Cranfield. The formulation of more robust and well-articulated national security frameworks has been recognized in recent years as critical in ensuring that progress in the national development of a range of transitional states is safeguarded - and in ensuring a more effective international system.
The Group will identify specific areas where further data and research is needed, lead in research programmes by engaging with other academic partners and policy stakeholders, and engage with the policy community and wider civil society in sharing the Working Group’s thinking.
