Governance
The GCSP's governing body is its Foundation Council, which consists of representatives of 53 member states and the Canton of Geneva.

Location matters. We think of Silicon Valley for entrepreneurship or London for finance. For fresh perspectives on international affairs and governance, there is no better location than Geneva – the capital of peace, humanitarian organisations, and a worldwide centre for multilateral diplomacy.
Housed within the Maison de la Paix, Geneva’s wealth of knowledge and experience is at the GCSP’s doorstep. The ‘House of Peace’ is the result of a public-private partnership between the Swiss public authorities, various donors and the Graduate Institute for International and Development Studies (IHEID). Find out about the building and our neighbours here.
Our global community is a springboard to locations around the world. We regularly collaborate with partners to deliver courses and workshops that address regional and local security challenges, supporting individuals and organisations outside of Geneva.
