THE SOCIETY FOR DEFENSE AND STRATEGIC STUDIES (SDSS)
THE RELATIONSHIP
Fulcrum Global is the publishing arm of The Society for Defense and Strategic Studies (SDSS) at American Military University (AMU), which is part of the American Public University System (APUS). The society is a collegiate-based organization that is comprised of current students, alumni, and faculty members belonging to either AMU or APU. Our members are people who are dedicated to the study and profession of defense, intelligence, and global strategic studies. The SDSS’s purpose is to enhance advocacy, research, and knowledge that pertain to complex national security issues.
The society’s members decided that a publication was necessary to promote its core objectives and Fulcrum Global was created in fall 2017. Fulcrum Global’s inception first began as a result of the 2016 Presidential elections. Members of the society were very aware of the lack of accurate information being made by opposing sides regarding the national security of the United States. As a result, Fulcrum Global was born and serves to promote and foster a non-partisan environment where ideas and discussions can be exchanged to generate policy suggestions that benefit the United States as a whole. In addition, the other aim of Fulcrum Global is to promote these ideas and policy suggestions, like an academic think tank, by bringing them to the attention of influential policy and decision-makers in the defense, intelligence, and national security fields.
