Welcome to the Centre for Security Analysis (CSA) website. CSA is a unique initiative. It will concentrate on spreading the message that security is more than a purely military phenomenon. The comprehensive nature of security, to include the economic, societal, environmental, political dimensions, will be the primary objective of the Centre. In addition, the CSA will endeavour to develop a perspective on security for the southern states of India or peninsular India. The Centre plans to work closely with policy groups and individuals in and outside India. It will also provide a platform for visiting scholars from India and abroad to interact with security experts in Chennai and southern states of India.
