The Center for a Secure Free Society (SFS) is an independent, non-partisan, next-generation, national security research organization that mobilizes a global network of security and defense experts to advance public policy. The organization was founded by Alejandro Chafuen, former president of Atlas Economic Research Foundation and native of Argentina.[1] The organization is headed by executive director Joseph M. Humire.
History[edit]
Following Chafuen's experience with violence in Argentina [2] during the late 1970s and the September 11 attacks, he concluded that governments cannot monopolize all of the research of security and defense issues, and that independent efforts are needed. In 2004, a sub organization of the Atlas Economic Research Foundation was founded, called the Think Tanks for a Secure Free Society. It held programs in Lisbon, Prague, New York, Dallas, Buenos Aires, Bogota, Santiago, and multiple cities around the world. In 2011, the organization was renamed the Center for a Secure Free Society and moved to the International Freedom Educational Foundation. In 2019, the organization became independent.[1]
Scope of analysis[edit]
The Center for a Secure Free Society consists of a research team that analyzes transnational and transregional threats from Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.[3]
Mission[edit]
The mission statement of the Center for a Secure Free Society is:[1]
"To discover, develop and support a global network of security scholars and practitioners advancing freedom and security worldwide."
