Founded in 1958, the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) is a world-leading authority on global security, political risk, and military conflict. This project builds on a previous MacArthur-supported award that aimed to strengthen cooperation between Chinese and Western policymaking communities on nuclear issues. This award supports a series of workshops to discuss the future of nuclear energy. It focuses on engaging officials and educating the public on the security implications of nuclear fuel cycle choices, particularly with regard to technology export to nuclear energy newcomers.

The Shangri-La Dialogue provides an important link in the Asia-Pacific between practitioners of security policy and policy researchers. It is run by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, a leading London-based authority on political-military conflict. The Shangri-La Dialogue remains the main opportunity for Asia-Pacific defense and intelligence officials as well as non-government experts to meet as a group for the purpose of discussing security challenges in the Asia-Pacific and strengthening international cooperation to meet these challenges. This grant would provide support for the June 2012 Shangri-La Dialogue meeting in Singapore.
