About Defence and Security

Learn how this photo relates to RAND Europe

The contemporary global security environment continues to be marked by unpredictability and volatility. Defence and security policies can no longer assume static or predictable actors and events. The current environment is characterised by the emergence of new asymmetric threats and complex emergencies, which require carefully planned and well-executed intra- and inter-governmental, and indeed non-governmental, responses. New and existing capabilities must increasingly be integrated at both home and abroad to deliver the desired effect.

The RAND Corporation has long been recognised for its expertise in and contribution to international defence and security policy issues. RAND Europe has furthered this tradition, seeking to provide innovative and insightful research and analysis to policy makers in the UK, Europe and beyond.

The RAND Europe Defence and Security Team is structured to assist policy and decision makers in facing the difficult and composite challenges generated by today's security environment. The Team provides expertise in Defence, Security and Counter-Terrorism, and International Security and Development.
