Publications

 


Panorama

Panorama of Global Security Environment is historically the most prestigious project of Central European security and foreign policy community with contributions from all continents. It is published annually and during the years became a standard reference source for security community in the region. Since 2012, Panorama is indexed in prestigious Thomson Reuters Web of Science Book Citation Index and is publicly available online. With an intention to further strengthen this position, as of the forthcoming volume, we decided to focus even more on the unique Central European Perspective and develop its relevance in the ongoing debate on security and international affairs.


Policy Papers

STRATPOL Policy Papers are flagship periodic publications from our experts and external contributors. Our topics centre around European and Transatlantic security with special focus on the South Caucasus, Wider Black Sea area and the Balkans. We try to introduce and analyse current security topics from the point of view of Central Europe and provide clear policy outcomes or recommendations.


Memos

STRATPOL Memos is a project which on a bi-weekly basis provides a short overview of the most important selected moments of Euro-Atlantic security and related areas. Our goal is to provide a brief, interactive and informative comments with short analysis putting news into broader context.


ViewPoints

STRATPOL ViewPoints is a project which seeks to address the most important international politics and security affairs of today. In every issue, you can find a Policy Paper, thought-provoking opinion piece, and a brief review of a recent study from well-known research centers and think-tanks worldwide.
