CONSORTIUM ON GRAND STRATEGY
The Consortium on Grand Strategy (CGS) was launched in Autumn 2009 as a joint venture between CENFAD and the Foreign Policy Research Institute, and generously supported by Mr. Roger Hertog. CGS events, which feature keynote presentations by some of the best-established scholars of Grand Strategy, also include lively and informative discussion between the speakers and the expert audience.
Some of the CGS speeches have been summarized in a special newsletter, The Telegram. When available, links will appear beneath the name of the speakers below.
