Nuclear Weapons and Nuclear Arms Control
RUSI is a leading centre for research expertise in nuclear deterrence and nuclear arms control. In addition to focusing on the renewal of the UK's Trident system, the centre researches the role of missile defences, nuclear declaratory policy and the future of non-strategic nuclear weapons in Europe.
Reserve Forces
RUSI has been at the forefront of the debate about the future of the Reserves since the SDSR was announced, undertaking relevant research and organising policy-shaping conferences.
Risk and Resilience
This research initiative explores ways of improving Britain's ability to recover in the face of terrorism, disaster, and other catastrophic events.
Terrorism
RUSI has proved essential to the debate on terrorism through progressive research that analyses the way terrorist groups have tried to operate in the UK and how government can better apply itself to the threat.
Transatlantic Security
This programme focuses on Britain’s changing role in its key alliances with the United States and Europe.
UK Defence Policy
Study of UK defence policy has always been central to RUSI's work. It remains the single largest element in the Institute's research programme and has set the parameters of debate on pressing defence issues.
