The National Strategy Forum provides information to business and civic leaders, policymakers, academics, students, and the general public on national security and national strategy issues through our lecture series, quarterly publication, and conferences. We forecast the trends and that will influence US national strategy and security. Our commitment to education, civic responsibility, and strategy may be summed up in three principles: - The goal of US national strategy is to seek genuine peace with freedom and justice in common cause with a community of free and independent nations. - The National Strategy Forum supports the advancement and preservation of democracy as being essential to promote human rights, inspire principled cultural achievement, and maximize economic development. - We are committed to the view that informed public opinion and an enduring non-partisan consensus maintain a viable security structure in a democratic society.
