<br>
For the fifth time in its history, the workshop was invited to Berlin to address the theme of "Global Security—The Growing Challenges." Political leaders, including defense ministers, foreign ministers and heads of government, as well as senior UN, EU and NATO and other diplomats, military commanders, and academic experts from more than forty countries participated.<br /><br />
<em>Workshop themes</em>. As demonstrated by Iceland's volcanic eruption—or recent tragic earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, nations face a growing range of economic and security concerns on a global scale. In many cases, risks are impossible to predict. No longer limited to purely military threats, today's dangers arise from such highly diverse sources as the international financial system—which plunged the world into recession; natural disasters; energy security; scarcity of water, minerals, and other resources; poverty; drug, weapons, and human trafficking; and—above all—the lack of hope for a better future for millions across the globe. Such a wide range of threats cannot be addressed effectively in national capitals alone, nor in the prominent international institutions, since decisions are often sidetracked by interest groups or simply by their extreme complexity, unexpected nature, or lack of resources.<br /><br />

<strong>Turkish Defense Minister Vecdi Gönül invited the 26th International Workshop on Global Security to Istanbul in June 2009.</strong> According to Minister Gönül, "Turkey, as a staunch ally located at the center of the world's hotspots and an active regional power that plays a significant role by mediating area disputes…" is an ideal venue for this event.
At the 25th Anniversary International Workshop in Rome, Minister Gönül cited Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey: "We should consider humanity as a single body and a nation as one of its organs. Pain on the tip of a finger is felt by all other organs. Therefore, we should see all nations as part of a single body and then take the necessary precautions."<br>

<td><span class="style21">The Center for Strategic Decision Research is a small research institute located near Stanford University in Menlo Park, California. For over twenty years, CSDR has presented an annual forum--presently called <i>The International Workshop on Global Security</i>--in major European cities. These workshops bring together political, military, industry, and academic leaders from North American, European, Asian, and African countries to discuss global security challenges on an informal and not-for-attribution basis. Participants have included the heads of state or government of Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Luxembourg, Romania, and Bulgaria, as well as foreign ministers, defense ministers, ambassadors, military leaders, business leaders, academics, and representatives from the European Union, NATO, the OSCE, and the United Nations. CSDR has recently sponsored annual conferences at Stanford University on the Horn of Africa and has long-term interests in finding ways to better transatlantic and global relations. CSDR also held workshops in Paris, France in partnership with the French Defense Ministry on the evolving roles of NATO, the EU, and ESDP.<br />
<br />
CSDR is currently interested in the development and communication of Alliance strategy for the coming decade in order to address the challenges of global terrorism--including not only growing asymmetric threats but also the genuine danger of nuclear hyperterrorist attacks that could threaten our civilization. Among the many requirements for such a strategy are improved transatlantic relations (which depends on reconciling the radically different world views found in Europe and North America), defense industrial cooperation among allies (as a basis for joint operational capability), and the need for a successful policy in the greater middle east (which cannot be achieved without progress toward peace between Israel and Palestine). International organizations, as well as treaties and other agreements, must be strengthened to slow the proliferation of WMDs. Above all, the struggle against terrorism cannot be won by military means alone: underlying causes must be understood and addressed. More recently, the global economic crisis has unexpectedly emerged as perhaps the greatest single threat to global well-being and security.<br />
