International Assessment and Strategy Center
Description
IASC is a new Washington-based 501(c)(3) non-profit “think-tank” focused on medium and long-term security issues and their impact on the security of the United States and her key allies. We believe in freedom and democracy. We also believe that these values are best defended by strategies based on a vigorous examination of fact-based scenarios and by challenging all assumptions.
IASC’s uses methods pioneered by Shell Oil and the Office of Net Assessment in the Department of Defense, both of which IASC principals have worked with. Net Assessment weighs all factors impinging, one way or another, on a nation’s security, and arrives at judgments that provide an honest indicator of the current situation. By identifying strengths, weaknesses, potential changes and new challenges, it is possible to consider how American capabilities will compare with those of possible competitors, and to suggest guidelines for future diplomacy, economic policies, force structures, and military strategies.
IASC’s goal is to provide policymakers with such advice looking ahead 10-20 years, well beyond the current headline horizon, budget cycle and legislative calendar. This advice is based on a multidisciplinary comparison of current and future trends and scenarios – considering everything from psychology and climatology to strategic culture and radically new approaches to warfare. These variables are placed in global context, and viewed as “three dimensional” rather than as static. This approach best supports the need for U.S. strategies that are based on all instruments of national power, e.g., economic, military, political, informational and diplomatic.
