The Elcano Royal Institute is an independent, private foundation whose primary goal is to act as a leading forum for research and analysis and to stimulate informed discussion of international affairs, particularly with regard to those issues which are most relevant from a Spanish perspective. Working papers are documents of an academic nature - usually between 10,000 and 15,000 words long with footnotes and bibliographies - on aspects of international affairs regarded as being of significance to Spanish foreign and defense policy.
