The Centre for Statecraft and National Security (CSNS) brings greater depth and expertise to the making of national security policy today, through research-led professional development and direct engagement with policymakers.
Based within the Department of War Studies at King’s College London, CSNS was founded in 2025 following the merger of the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and the Centre for Grand Strategy.
Our team are all academics with extensive experience of engaging directly with policymakers and other stakeholders, who seek a deeper understanding of the challenges of national and international security, both from within and beyond the UK.
CSNS is part of the Ax:son Johnson Institute of Statecraft and Diplomacy, a consortium of academic institutions that seek to foster historically informed statecraft.
