Clausewitz Network for Strategic Studies (CNSS) is a German think tank on strategy issues. The aim of the institution is to provide strategy training for those in positions of responsibility. The CNSS is based at the Bundeswehr Command and Staff College (German: Führungsakademie der Bundeswehr, FüAkBw) in Hamburg, from where it promotes interdepartmental exchange between civilian and military figures.

History[edit]

The CNSS was founded by participants of the National General/Admiral Staff Officer Course (NGASOC) in 2009, with Lennart Souchon as founding director.[1] As head of the Security Policy and Strategy Department at the Bundeswehr Command and Staff College, Souchon had initially founded the International Clausewitz Center in 1999 as an international meeting place for the discussion of strategic issues at FüAkBw.[2]

From the International Clausewitz Center, the CNSS initially emerged in the form of a loose network between FüAkBw and the University of Potsdam.[3] In 2013, the Clausewitz Network for Strategic Studies was registered as a registered association in its current form.[note 1]

Activities[edit]

The network provides strategy education, cultivates the intellectual legacy of Carl von Clausewitz, and conducts research on his theories.

According to its own statements, the think tank's most important task is the exchange between civilian and military leaders.[4] This exchange takes place during symposia,[5][6][7] workshops,[8] lectures,[9] and recurring discussions called Clausewitz Gespräche.[2] Although the geographical focus is on the Bundeswehr Command and Staff College in Hamburg, the scope of these formats explicitly extends beyond the military audience.

Members of the CNSS regularly publish scholarly papers (see publications) on strategy topics for both the national and international public, and contribute to conferences such as the Vienna Strategy Conference (StratKon).[10][11]
