Secondly, it is dedicated to an increased understanding of global issues and governance challenges raised by the erosion of national boundaries. Thirdly, CDSP research is focused on the changing geopolitics of international relations, in particular the rise of Asia, the future role of the United States and relations between the Islamic world and the West.
