Research

INSS initiates and conducts research in the multiplicity of fields that comprise security studies and impact on strategic issues. Emphasis is placed on those issues relevant to Israeli national security. It publishes the results of its research as books, journal articles, special reports, and memoranda; these publications appear in Hebrew and/or in English.

The books written by INSS associates are published by leading university presses and commercial publishers. The INSS quarterly, Strategic Assessment, is published in English and Hebrew. Memoranda are monographs on timely issues with policy relevant implications. INSS Insight and INSS Policy Brief are distributed as e-publications. With the exception of the books, all INSS publications are posted on the INSS website.

In order to safeguard the intellectual freedom of the staff, INSS maintains a strict position of non-partisanship on issues of public policy. The opinions expressed in any of the INSS publications are those of the authors; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the Institute, its trustees, officers, other staff members, or the organizations and individuals that support its research. Thus, the publication of a work by INSS signifies that it is deemed worthy of public consideration, but does not imply endorsement of conclusions or recommendations.
