  International Institute for Strategic Studies - About Us
As this mandate developed, the Institute worked hard both to provide the best information and analysis on strategic trends, and to facilitate contacts between government leaders, business people and analysts that would lead to the development of better public policy in the fields of international relations and international security.
The IISS is the primary source of accurate, objective information on international strategic issues for politicians and diplomats, foreign affairs analysts, international business, economists, the military, defence commentators, journalists, academics and the informed public.
The Institute's conference activities are considered to be at the forefront of public policy development, especially given that its convening power is such that it can often bring government officials and others together in formats and circumstances that they could not easily manage for themselves.

 Strategic Survey - Director's Statement
And so while the IISS is known for the quality of its information and analysis, we intend also to work directly as facilitators in key regions, bringing people together who otherwise might not meet, and thereby provide some of the oil that eases the friction of international affairs.
International law should develop to underpin the notion that what is illegal if done by a state should also be illegal if done by a transnational non-state actor.
We are entering an era when the ground-rules for international action are shifting, concepts of deterrence are giving way to policies of pre-emption, and the prospects of orchestrating long term strategic change, not seen since the end of the Cold War, are immense.

International Institute of Strategic Studies director John Chipman in London.
In a study released ahead of US President George W. Bush’s policy speech on Iraq on Thursday, the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) said Baghdad did not have nuclear arms and probably lacked means to deliver its residual chemical and biological weapons effectively to cause massive loss of life.
The IISS said there was no sign that Baghdad had the ability to produce fissile material or had acquired any from abroad.

But strategically, Israel's moves are an implicit acknowledgment that any post-1967 Zionist aspiration to a 'Greater Israel' extending from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River is demographically untenable.
In Israel's counter-terrorism calculus, however, the operational benefits of disrupting the terrorist apparatus at the strategic planning level were judged to outweigh the political cost of momentary Palestinian outrage.
The strategic aim is to preserve the Israeli deterrent.

International terrorism struck widely and directly influenced the outcome of elections in Spain a key coalition partner in Iraq.
With few functioning institutional links between the new government in Baghdad and the wider population, the nation-wide election campaign in late 2004 or early 2005 will be the crucial test of the ability of Iraq’s new political parties to build a national base and gain a popular following.
We argue in Strategic Survey 2003/4 that this was the year the Likud Party, the institutional keepers of the flame, surrendered the dream of Greater Israel.

 International Institute for Strategic Studies Conference on East Asia Security
One of the things that characterizes the security situation in East Asia is there is much less institutional structure, much less of a tradition of talking among countries, and I think it's very important to work on building more of a structure and more institutions.

In fact, I think a certain amount of clarity is valuable now, and I think the president has been very clear, has been very clear that we support a one-China policy; that that means, as you, I think, correctly quoted me, we do not support independence for Taiwan.
