ASG's roots date back to the 1970s, when the Aspen Institute organized the annual conference for scientists that worked on projects for arms control, which developed the Aspen Strategy Group, which was an official program of the Aspen Institute since 1984. It initially focused on strategic relations, arms control and the US-Soviet Union relationship. It members include government officials, industry representatives, and journalists.[2] Since the end of the Cold War, the group analysis regional and global challenges and examines the economic, social and transnational consequences.
