Demonstrating Georgia Tech’s renewed commitment to the relationship of technology to society and the changing needs of the 21st century, the Center for International Strategy, Technology, and Policy (CISTP) forms a new and dynamic union between business, government, and the academic community. In a world where all nations are quickly becoming neighbors, the Center encourages the use of technology to address major foreign policy issues affecting relations among states and non-governmental organizations.
