CENTER FOR STRATEGIC AND PEACE STUDIES (CSPS)

Think tanks on various aspects of public life or activities or policies are no longer new to most countries; some of the think tanks are non-profit making. “Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies” (BIISS) is a think tank which was established at the initiative of the Government of Bangladesh and funded almost fully by the government. This is the only organization (think-tank) concerning areas of national security and defence information coupled with foreign policy. It was obvious that there was a void in this regard, in national life.
In the above context, to fill-up this void to whatever extent possible, in February 1999, an organization has been setup in the private sector to work in these areas and few more. It has been named Centre for Strategic and Peace Studies (CSPS) which has been established as a non-political non-profit making society under the relevant law of Bangladesh. This is not an NGO as commonly available in our country.
