The "Surviving Victory" conference was held in Washington DC in 2006.

The conference-forum was organized by the Green Institute and Steven Schmidt, editor of the global policy magazine of the Institute.

Roger Morris was the featured speaker and contributors included Steve Clemons (current national security commentator on MSNBC) and Susan Rice (former US United Nations ambassador and current US National Security advisor to President Barack Obama).

The conference focused on issues of costs of war, definitions of security, and growing risks of failed policies and interventionism.

The conference served as a foundation for security policy studies of GreenPolicy360 as an independent organization and online network.

The founding of Strategic Demands in 2014 expanded the work of GreenPolicy360 and continues the work and writing over the years by your GreenPolicy siterunner.

The larger goal is to continue developing a "360" policy vision with New Definitions of National Security and a horizon of interconnected global, environmental security.

About Strategic Demands

Orthodox views of national security are challenged in a world connected by next generation networked communication and far-ranging global interests. Conventional interests are giving way to a new world of over-the-horizon understandings, trade, education, and common interests. StratDem envisions new perspectives, new visions for a new world

We begin with a simple construct -- a 360° connected world in a fast-arriving Internet era. Where we connect is a beginning point to participation in a worldwide economy and politics. When we are online, we are shaping politics, government, and transactional markets interactively, forming inter-related communities...

Security is Indivisible

Billions of individuals are connected today as never before — creating a future shaped by networked citizens — citizens of nations and ‘citizens of the planet.’

Strategic Demands History

The Global Policy project of the Green Institute began strategic security work in 2005 with the publication of an initial security brief written by Roger Morris and Steven Schmidt. Based on the "Strategic Demands of the 21st Century" policy paper, we held a DC conference to look at new definitions of national security. Since then, on multiple fronts and venues, we have continued our work, now further extended with the Strategic Demands webzine.

• Strategic Demands' goal is to add independent perspective and opinion to the contemporary national security debate. We bring experience and a belief that the current Washington DC/New York/Boston corridor that holds most all foreign policy think tanks is limited in its politics (as a two-party normative system competes for influence and positions under either Democrat or Republican administrations).
