How do we make risk-reduction real at the local level where it is not realistic to extrapolate from large-scale datasets and statistics?

Background

The world is changing rapidly and we continue to see long-term shifts in the balance of global and military power, increasing competition between states as well as the threat from non-state actors. The challenges have become more complex and intertwined. We are inviting research organisations to consider our latest research interests in measuring and responding to security threats in a way that is evidence-led.
