The Institute for Policy Research & Development (IPRD) is an independent research institute for interdisciplinary security studies, analysing international terrorism, military interventions, as well as national and international conflicts, in the context of global ecological, energy and economic crises. Founded in April 2001 in Brighton, a UN ‘Peace Messenger’ City for 20 years, the Institute now runs from the heart of London as an informal, non-profit international network of specialist scholars, experts and analysts.
