| Source: Stratfor
AUSTIN, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 22, 2007 -- Strategic Forecasting, Inc. (Stratfor) and the
United States Naval Institute (USNI) today announced a mutual services
agreement that will commence immediately. The partnership will provide
publishing and marketing cooperation between Stratfor and USNI designed to
expand and enrich the quality of published offerings to members of both
organizations.
USNI has been contributing to creative thinking and planning in the area of
national security and naval issues through its books and periodicals for
more than 130 years. USNI publishes the distinguished hard copy
Proceedings magazine among other publications.
Stratfor has a unique perspective as the world's leading private
intelligence firm. It views geopolitics as the heart of understanding
global security and defense and the struggle by nations for hegemony.
George Friedman, founder and CEO of Stratfor, said, "Stratfor's strategic
view of the world and its professional, dispassionate analysis is a natural
fit with USNI. Both see the importance of sea power in the struggle by
nations for global security. I see this as an important and prestigious
alliance for Stratfor."
Under the agreement, USNI current and future members will have discounted
access to Stratfor's premium website and geopolitical analyses at
www.stratfor.com and free access to Stratfor's weekly intelligence
analyses. Stratfor subscribers will have discounted access to the Naval
Institute's publications.
Major General Tom Wilkerson (USMC-Ret.), CEO of the US Naval Institute,
praised the work of Stratfor and added, "This relationship will prove a
greater benefit for members of each of our organizations providing them an
even more comprehensive understanding of our complex times. I look forward
to the partnership."
