Since 2008, the Notre Dame International Security Center (NDISC) has provided a forum for national security scholars at the University of Notre Dame and elsewhere to come together to explore the most pressing issues in national security policy. Through research, teaching, and public affairs programming, NDISC aims to connect policymakers and the public with the very best scholarship in the academy on issues of international security, broadly defined.
Our mission is to broaden the discussion of U.S. grand strategy to ensure that the full range of optionsānot just those popular inside the Beltwayāare part of our national conversation about the vital issues of war and peace.
We invite you to learn with us on ThinkND!
Best wishes from campus,
Michael Desch
