The Global Center on Cooperative Security is an independent, nonpartisan, not-for-profit research and policy institute based in New York, Washington D.C., London, Brussels, and Nairobi. The Global Center works to improve multilateral security cooperation through policy research and issue-area projects throughout the world.

History

The Global Center on Cooperative Security (Global Center) was born out of a recognition that addressing violent extremism requires innovative approaches that are equitable, non-violent, and shaped by those who are most affected by conflict and injustice. The Global Center was originally founded in 2004 by Alistair Millar as a project of the Fourth Freedom Forum, and has since established itself as a standalone organization.

Staff

Currently, Eelco Kessels serves as the Executive Director of the Global Center.

The Global Center's staff include a number of scholars and practitioners with expertise in multilateral security policy. Richard Barrett, a Senior Fellow for the Global Center (UK), is the Director of The Global Strategy Network, a former British diplomat and intelligence officer who led the UN monitoring team concerning al-Qaida and the Taliban, and Director of Global Counter Terrorism Operations in the United Kingdom. Peter Romaniuk, a Senior Non-resident Fellow at the Global Center, is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

Programming

The Global Center focuses on four thematic areas of programming and engagement: multilateral security policy; countering violent extremism; criminal justice and the rule of law; financial integrity and inclusion. Across these areas, the Global Center prioritizes partnerships with national and regional stakeholders and works to ensure respect for human rights and empower those affected by transnational violence and criminality to inform international action.

The Global Center's multilateral security policy efforts focus on building stronger partnerships among intergovernmental organizations, civil society, and national institutions to address transnational threats and underlying sources of insecurity through collaborative, multidisciplinary research and policy analysis and implementation. Through its countering violent extremism platform, the Global Center works with local, regional, and international partners to promote holistic, preventative responses to violent extremism that underscore the critical importance of human rights, the rule of law, and community engagement. The Global Center’s criminal justice programming works to strengthen the capacity of justice and security providers—and those who hold them accountable—to provide for community security, human rights, and the rule of law. Through its programming on financial integrity and inclusion, the Global Center develops and delivers capacity development support, conducts innovative research, and provides independent policy advice to advance interlinked development, security, and financial integrity and transparency aims.
