The Conflict Studies Research Centre, or CSRC, is a college of the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom specialising in potential causes of conflict in a wide area ranging from the Baltics to Central Asia.

This geographical focus was inherited from the Centre's original incarnation as the Soviet Studies Research Centre (SSRC) in 1972, examining the Soviet military threat. The Centre now examines wider issues including foreign policy, energy security and demographic change.

CSRC contains a small number of deep country specialists, providing in-house expertise on their subject countries to the Defence Academy's Advanced Research and Assessment Group (ARAG), as well as publishing research in their own right.

Integrity Initiative

Chris Donnelly, leader of the Integrity Initiative mentions in his CV that he used to work as Senior Lecturer at the Soviet Studies Research Centre from 1973-79 and Head of the Centre from 1979-89. It is reasonable to assume he the SSRC did similar work as the Integrity Initiative, ie was the central in a network spreading British propaganda during the Cold War.
