The
Institute of Strategic Studies focused its activities on involvement in
international co-operation in strategic and security studies and the
publication of its monthly Analyses &Studies.
Within
a long-term project (The Central European Forum for Security and Co-operation)
which the Institute supports together with the University of Dresden and the
Jagellonian University of Krakow, the Institute participated in an
international conference held in Krakow in 2000. Information on the conference
was published in Analyses &Studies, 5 and 6. The institute
covered the costs of participation from the sources provided by the American
Centre at the US Embassy in Prague.
Since
the next international conference within the above project will be held in Brno in
2001, the institute launched the preparations as early as the end of 2000.
In
2000, the Institute registered an increased interest in the Analyses &Studies
bulletin. Major topics of 2000 included the security situation in Russia
and the other former federal republics of the Soviet Union, discussion on the
US foreign policy in light of the expected victory of the Republicans, issues
related to the admission of the Czech Republic into NATO, extremism in the
Czech Republic and other issues. The bulletin also addresses theoretical
issues of international relationships and strategic and security studies. It
is funded mostly from the institute抯 own sources, i.e. grants and
advertisements.
