The International Institute for Strategic Affairs (IISA) is an independent policy institute and think tank committed to advancing international cooperation, informed policymaking, and peaceful solutions to global challenges. Our multidisciplinary approach connects strategic analysis with international law, diplomacy, security, economics, technology, and public policy.

IISA’s work encompasses international relations and diplomacy; defence and conflict analysis; peacekeeping and conflict resolution; terrorism and nuclear deterrence; cybersecurity and emerging technologies; energy, economic, and food security; migration and international development; climate change and environmental security; global trade and sustainable development; and international law, justice, and human rights.

We translate research into practical action by facilitating dialogue, mediation, and confidence-building among governments, institutions, and affected communities. Our activities include crisis assessment, policy development, conflict prevention, peacebuilding, stabilisation, post-conflict recovery, professional training, capacity-building, early-warning initiatives, and pilot projects addressing local and cross-border challenges.

Partnerships are central to our mission. IISA welcomes cooperation with governments, international organisations, civil-society groups, academic institutions, research centres, businesses, foundations, and independent experts. Collaboration may involve joint research, policy initiatives, strategic consultations, conferences, training programmes, crisis-response mechanisms, or long-term institutional cooperation.

Every partnership is guided by independence, objective analysis, intellectual rigour, accountability, and practical relevance. By connecting expertise, institutions, and communities, IISA seeks to improve strategic decision-making, strengthen effective governance, prevent conflict, and deliver measurable progress toward international stability and sustainable peace.
