Security Studies
PSSI was the first public policy group in the Czech Republic – and one of the first in the region – to launch an intensive educational initiative to train future generations of national security-minded experts in the Czech Republic and the region. In the interest of providing world-class experience for students and young professionals, PSSI has worked to make available foreign policy and national security luminaries from around the world, as well as senior policy practitioners in this field, in small group settings.
PSSI’s core educational program is its two-semester Robinson-Martin Security Scholars Academy (RMSSA), operating continuously since 2002. This two-semester course offers a range of distinguished experts to lecture their students (including diplomats, journalists, parliamentarians, and current and former high-level security policy decision-makers). Its curriculum covers breaking issues as well as historical ones for the purpose of building a solid foundation for our scholars.
To expand its reach, PSSI also established a formal partnership with the Charles University in Prague in 2007, initially through security-oriented accredited courses and culminating in PSSI’s co-sponsorship of the University’s Master’s Degree Program in International Security Studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences, accredited in both in the Czech and English languages. In addition, PSSI supports specialized courses and a lecture series in Space Security and Economic & Financial Warfare with further opportunities provided by the William P. Clark and Oldřich Černý Ph.D. scholarships for two four-year doctoral students.
