The Global Center on Cooperative Security is an independent, nonpartisan, not-for-profit research and policy institute based out of offices in New York, Washington D.C., and London. The Global Center works to improve multilateral security cooperation through policy research and issue-area projects throughout the world.

The Global Center on Cooperative Security (Global Center), formerly known as the Center on Global Counterterrorism Cooperation (CGCC), is a project of the Fourth Freedom Forum, a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation founded in 1982 by international businessman, Howard Brembeck, that focuses on international cooperation and promotion of policy based on the rule of law.

The Global Center was established as CGCC in 2004 by Alistair Millar in order to promote cooperative international measures against terrorism. Millar, also the President of the Fourth Freedom Forum, is a long-time government consultant on counterterrorism and non-proliferation issues, is a Senior Fellow at the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University and teaches graduate level courses at Johns Hopkins University and the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University. Eric Rosand, who began as a Senior Fellow at CGCC, later served as its Co-Director until returning to the Office of the Counter Terrorism Coordinator at the United States Department of State.

In March 2014, the organization changed its name from the Center on Global Counterterrorism Cooperation to the Global Center on Cooperative Security to reflect "the broadening scope of the organization’s work and partnerships and a conviction that complex international security challenges require holistic, integrative responses."

Currently, Alistair Millar serves as the Executive Director of the Global Center.

McNamara, a Distinguished Non-resident Fellow with the Global Center, is a career diplomat who served as a senior official in the United States Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Peter Romaniuk, a Senior Non-resident Fellow at the Global Center, is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
