The Center for Security
Policy is a non-profit,
non-partisan national
security organization that
specializes in identifying
policies, actions, and
resource needs that are
vital to American security
and then ensures that such
issues are the subject of
both focused, principled
examination and effective
action by recognized policy
experts, appropriate
officials, opinion leaders,
and the general public.
The Center was founded in
1988 and has worked to great
effect since then in the
establishment of successful
national security policies
through the use of all
elements of national power –
diplomatic, informational,
military, and economic
strength.
The philosophy of "Peace
through Strength" is not a
slogan for military might
but a belief that America's
national power must be
preserved and properly used
for it holds a unique global
role in maintaining peace
and stability.
Mission of the
Center for Security
Policy:
To identify
challenges and
opportunities likely
to affect American
security, broadly
defined, and to act
promptly and
creatively to ensure
that they are the
subject of focused
national examination
and effective
action. |
Today's national security
threats compel us to ensure
we are strong and prepared.
We as a nation must also
work to undermine the
ideological foundations of
totalitarianism and Islamist
extremism with at least as
much skill, discipline and
tenacity as President Reagan
employed against Communism
to prevail in the Cold War.
The role of the Center for
Security Policy is to help
our government, countrymen
and other freedom-loving
nations conceptualize,
conduct and succeed on this
front. The Center's
dedicated staff, associates
and advisors constitute the
Special Forces in this war
of ideas – equipped with the
experience, imagination,
expertise, agility and drive
not just to advance
strategies for victory, but
to get them adopted and
implemented.
