Core competencies
The Center for the Study of Democracy (CSD) is a multi-disciplinary think tank combining a broad range
of
capacities – sociological and criminological research, legal and regulatory analysis, policy monitoring and
evaluation, institutional capacity building, security sector reform and crime prevention policies.
Founded in 1989,
CSD is a non-partisan, independent organisation. Its crosscutting competences enable CSD to deliver on
complex
projects requiring both process and substantive knowledge on EU level. CSD has extensive track record
in designing
and implementing sociological and victimisation surveys, qualitative research, policy evaluation and
monitoring
instruments.
