Focus area · Security Diplomacy

Stability is built one relationship at a time.

Defense officials, cyber leaders, and policy fellows working through the hard problems with their Boston counterparts — in classrooms, labs, and rooms designed for substantive conversation.

The case for security diplomacy

The rooms that aren't on the news.

/ 01

Security is multilateral

From cyber resilience to counterterrorism to alliance management, no country handles a serious threat alone. The relationships that hold under pressure are usually built years earlier, in rooms that aren't on the news.

Boston's convening power

Universities, think tanks, federal labs, and a deep bench of regional defense and intelligence alumni make Greater Boston a natural neutral ground for substantive, off-the-record conversations on hard security questions.

What WorldBoston does

We host visiting defense officials, IVLP security cohorts, and emerging policy fellows; design programs around cyber, counter-disinformation, and democratic resilience; and connect global counterparts to the people in Boston who work on these problems daily.
