The Center for Culture and Security

The Center for Culture and Security promotes understanding both of the "otherness" of other cultures and of the common threads that define humanity. Seeking to appreciate and affect political reality without knowing its cultural context is not unlike watching a concert without the sound: one can see the instruments, but never know their music.

The Center is a project of The Institute of World Politics.
