The Centre seeks to deepen the study of grand strategy and statecraft at the University of Cambridge, offer innovative opportunities for collaboration with practitioners, and deliver impactful engagement with the wider world.
We apply historical analysis, area studies, political science and the experience of practitioners to major problems of conflict and world order: past, present and future.
