the CRISIS PROJECT

From London to Lagos to Waziristan, welcome to the Transnational Crisis Project, the next generation in security analysis. Comprised of a flexible, ‘flat world’ network unmatched in the third-sector, this radical new social enterprise learns from terrorists by leveraging the best information and analysis on core security threats to develop concrete, practical proposals for governments on a rapid and global basis. We harness the power of the human network to help solve such problems, by identifying interested parties from across the globe, rapidly connecting leading politicians and policy-makers to people on the ground, and to academics across all fields of scholarship, to generate a multinational and multidisciplinary problem-solving nexus. A high-impact, stateless endeavour designed for one purpose: to save lives.

From H5N1 avian influenza to AIDS, core national security implications for governments around the world are real.  Capacities for prevention, detection, and containment remain limited.  Comprehensive strategies are needed.   Read More

Climate Change & Security

Global climate change is real. But the effects of such shifts in the environment have concrete national security implications for a wide range of nations around the world. For some the threat may even prove existential in scope.   Read More
