The Centre for Defence and International Security Studies (or CDiSS) is a British defence and security think tank.[1] CDiSS is engaged in research, analysis, commentary and discussion on issues of significance within the broad context of international security.
The Centre has no allegiances, but serves as a conduit between the academic community, government and other official and unofficial bodies, and the defence and security industries.[1] The Centre organises conferences and seminars, undertakes focused and directed research and publishes papers in hard and soft copy. Its members also contribute to journals. Membership of CDiSS includes those with a background in academia, industry, the armed forces, non-governmental organisations, government and the media.
The current director of CDiSS is Martin Edmonds
