CSSD's geographic focus is on states and regions undergoing radical political and social change; its academic focus is on democracy, democratic practice, good governance, and how to combine all these with security and the rule of law.
Chevening Fellowship programme
They are intended for mid-career professionals from emerging democracies, and often developing countries, all of whom have been identified by British Embassies as being actually or potentially important to the development of democratic institutions, practice and culture in those countries.
Staff
Our academic staff, fellows and associates combine academic and practical experience. Our permanent staff have all worked overseas in the fields of defence and security, including at very senior levels in British government service, NATO and the EU.
