Vision 2025
The
American Society for Civil Engineers has a
passion for preparing the civil engineering
profession for tomorrow’s world. The
publications The Vision
for Civil Engineering in 2025 and Achieving
the Vision for Civil Engineering in 2025: A
Roadmap for the Profession mark the
culmination of almost eight years of effort
to redefine what it will mean to be a civil
engineer in the world of the future. Vision
2025 represents the collective wisdom of
more than 60
experts from around the world and
presents an aspirational vision for what the
future can and should be. Numerous
individual civil engineers and civil
engineering organizations around the world
have embraced this appeal for a new,
enhanced role for the profession. They call
on civil engineers to control their own
destiny rather than letting events control
it for them.

Security Committee: Standards and Best Practices. On October 19,
1995, six months after the Oklahoma City bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah
Federal Building, President Clinton issued Executive Order 12977,
creating the Interagency Security Committee (ISC) to address continuing
government-wide security for federal facilities. Prior to 1995, minimum
physical security standards did not exist for nonmilitary federally
owned or leased facilities. The ISC’s
mandate is to enhance the quality and effectiveness of physical security
in, and the protection of buildings and civilian federal facilities in
the United States. The ISC standards apply to all civilian federal
facilities in the United States—whether government-owned, leased or
managed; to be constructed or modernized; or to be purchased.

The Leading Authority on Global
Security: Facts, Analysis, Influence... The
International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) is the world’s
leading authority on political-military conflict.
The IISS, based in
London, is both a limited company in UK law and a registered charity. It has
offices in the US, in Singapore and in Bahrain. The IISS was founded in 1958
in the UK by a number of individuals interested in how to maintain civilised
international relations in the nuclear age. Much of the Institute’s early
work focused on nuclear deterrence and arms control and was hugely
influential in setting the intellectual structures for managing the Cold
War.
The United Nation's specialized agency responsible for improving
Maritime Safety.
The International Relations and Security Network (ISN) is the world’s
leading open access information service for international relations and
security professionals. Established
in 1994, our mission is to promote greater knowledge sharing, learning
and collaboration. We do this by building a portfolio of free,
high-quality information services; providing e-Learning consulting,
content and technology services and products; hosting a comprehensive security
training program for the intelligence community; and offering
technical, editorial and administrative support to a host of online
communities. We strive to meet the rapidly evolving information and
educational needs of our users by working with the world’s leading
think tanks, universities, research institutes, NGOs and international
organizations. Our partner network continues to grow in tandem with the
changing international agenda. This allows us to offer our users a broad
selection of views and opinions on the major issues of our day. The ISN
is an online project of the Center
for Security Studies (CSS), at the Swiss
Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich). It is jointly funded
by the Swiss
Department for Defence, Civil Protection and Sport (DDPS) and ETH
Zurich.
ISPI was
established in 1994 by a group of American Muslims in the Chicago area.
Its mission is to promote the correct understanding of Islam and Muslims
in the United States. It seeks to explain the moral ethical positions of
Islam and Muslims to fellow Americans. The institute believes this will
counter the stereotyping of Muslims and debunk the myths surroundings
Muslims, Islam and the Prophet Muhammad. The institute also aspires to
educate Muslim Americans about US educational system, the ways to
participate in the national discourse both in and out of the political
system and debunk the myths and stereotypes about Americans that are
prevalent in the Muslim and immigrant communities. It has analyzed
heterodoxy among Muslims to promote respect for dissent and diversity of
opinions. Acting as a bridge between the Muslim and non-Muslim
communities the institute hopes its efforts will allow for a healthy
discourse between communities and a fruitful collaboration on many
issues of common interest. The institute believes Muslims can
participate constructively on national dialogue on topics like race
relations, pluralism and civil liberties and have a unique perspective
to offer. Additionally this bridge building will allow Muslims, in
particular South Asians and Arabs, to live in dignity.

The New Security Foundation exists to
promote a wider understanding of the nature of modern security and its
implications for civil society. The
Foundation has two main objectives. The first is to conduct research into
emerging security issues and to produce information and analysis, which can
be made available to decision makers in both the public and private sectors.
The second is to provide an international forum for debate and discussion
about the nature of modern security and its implications. A
network of experts with a background in academia, government, intelligence,
the armed forces, the emergency services and business enables the New
Security Foundation to draw on an international pool of expertise and
provide an insight into emerging defence and security issues.

Public Intelligence is an international,
collaborative research project aimed at aggregating the collective work of
independent researchers around the globe who wish to defend the public’s
right to access information. We operate upon a single maxim: equal access to
information is a human right. We believe that limits to the average
citizen’s ability to access information have created information
asymmetries which threaten to destabilize democratic rule around the world.
Through the control of information, governments, religions, corporations,
and a select group of individuals have been able to manipulate public
perception into accepting coercive agendas which are ultimately designed to
limit the sovereignty and freedom of populations worldwide.
