about the center for strategic decision research (csdr)

		The Center for Strategic Decision Research is a small research institute located near Stanford University In Menlo Park, California. For over twenty years, CSDR has presented an annual forum--presently called the The International Workshop on Global Security-- in major European cities. These workshops bring together political, military, industry, and academic leaders from North American, European, Asian, and African countries to discuss global security challenges on an informal and not-for-attribution basis. Participants include heads of state, foreign ministers, defense ministers, ambassadors, military leaders, business leaders, academics, and representatives from the European Union, NATO, the OSCE, and the United Nations. CSDR has recently sponsored annual conferences at Stanford University on the Horn of Africa and is currently interested in finding better ways to improve transatlantic and global relations.
