International Security and Development Center (IDSC)

ISDC is a Berlin-based, non-for-profit research center conducting research, providing policy advice and building capacity on international security and socio-economic development. While it is increasingly being recognized that security and development are interdependent, there remain significant gaps of knowledge and best practice concerning how to strengthen either and what their relation is to each other. Our lack of knowledge concerns the global, the national, the local and the individual levels. We analyze questions such as: What are the costs of conflict? How does fragility impact on employment? Does poverty breed instability? How to maintain basic human needs in fragile environments? Which institutions build peace and/or prosperity? Can we build peace – and change people’s attitudes to past or potential foes? ISDC draws on data to seek answers to these questions – and thereby to help design better policies for both peace and prosperity. We are unique in the global research scene for being dedicated to work exclusively on the security-development nexus. ISDC is a charitable company acting as a physical hub in a large virtual network of experts and expertise involving researchers, policy makers, practitioners and journalists. While based in Berlin, the global relevance of our work means we engage in research and advisory projects around the world.
