In today’s increasingly dynamic and interconnected world, the Global Dynamics and Intelligence Division (GDI) delivers timely, expert analysis and insights on challenging and sensitive national security questions for U.S. government sponsors. GDI is a source of crucial research expertise to IDA research teams.

We support an array of offices across the whole of government, particularly agencies within the defense and intelligence communities. Our researchers understand important regional perspectives of allies and partners, and they identify opportunity areas to bolster the success of U.S. strategic and operational objectives.

GDI presents its capabilities through four research portfolios, three that are geo-strategically focused (Indo-Pacific, Eurasia, and Global Coverage), and one that is functionally oriented (Intelligence and Security).
