The Southern Center for International Studies (SCIS) is a non-profit, non-partisan educational institution. A member organization founded in Atlanta, GA over forty years ago, it is an independent center for thought and opinion on international affairs and foreign policy. The Southern Center seeks to inform; it does not take political positions or attempt to influence policy. The Center's mission is to broaden the public's understanding of international issues and their impact on the US. Each year, the SCIS offers timely, substantive programming on international affairs, featuring policy experts, foreign dignitaries, corporate executives, international authors, journalists and world leaders.
