Project
on Defense Alternatives
Since its inception in 1991, the Project on Defense Alternatives has sought to adapt security policy to the challenges and opportunities of the post-Cold War era. Toward this end it promotes consideration of the broadest range of defense options. Central to its mission is the development of "transitional security policy," which would serve to create conditions favorable to the advent of regional and global cooperative security regimes.
PDA offers analysis of U.S. defense policy and global security issues. The Project also maintains a variety of Internet libraries on international security issues.
