The Regional Centre For Strategic Studies (RCSS)  is a South Asian regional think tank, based in Colombo, Sri Lanka.  Established in 1993, it is an independent, non-profit and non-governmental organization which encourages research, dialogue and deliberation on a broad spectrum of conventional and non-conventional sources of conflict with an educational and problem-solving perspective. The Centre’s key objectives are to:

• Sponsor, coordinate and support research on South Asian strategic and security issues
• Promote interaction among scholars and professionals in the region and beyond who are engaged in South Asian strategic and international studies.
• Foster linkages and collaboration among institutions focusing on studies related to conflict, conflict resolution, cooperation, stability and security in South Asia.

RCSS encourages a new generation of analysts, commentators, and opinion-makers to induct fresh ideas and perspectives to the security debate in the region.
