The Institute of World Politics (IWP) is a graduate school of national security, intelligence, and international affairs. It was founded in 1990 and is located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. According to its mission statement, the school develops leaders in the intelligence, national security, and diplomatic communities, while teaching the ethical exercise of statecraft. The curriculum exposes students to the full spectrum of international realities, including history, political culture, current and potential threats, and the strategic role of ideas, values, and belief systems in world politics. It specifically emphasizes various elements of statecraft, including: counterintelligence; counterpropaganda; economic statecraft and warfare; information operations; political warfare; strategic soft power; and public diplomacy.〔http://dailycaller.com/2011/12/04/leaders-with-ginni-thomas-john-lenczowski-institute-of-world-politics/〕 Also, the faculty is composed almost entirely of senior scholar-practitioners, including ambassadors, senior intelligence officials, military officers, presidential advisers, and senior congressional staff members, among many other members of the national security, intelligence, and diplomatic communities. IWP offers five Master of Arts degrees: M.A. in Statecraft and National Security Affairs, M.A. in Statecraft and International Affairs, M.A. in Strategic Intelligence Studies, M.A. in Strategic and International Studies (Professional), and Executive M.A. in National Security Affairs. The school also offers Certificates of Graduate Study and continuing education courses. ==Founding and history== IWP was founded in 1990 by John Lenczowski, the former Director of European and Soviet Affairs at the United States National Security Council during the Reagan administration.〔Conservative Spotlight, "John Lenczowski's Institute of World Politics," ''Human Events'' Vol. 50 Issue 1 (1/14/1994): 16.〕 Lenczowski’s stated purpose for establishing the Institute was to develop a graduate school and curriculum that integrates “all the instruments of statecraft,” teaching students to apply them across the spectrum of conflict while remaining grounded in American founding principles and the rule of international law.〔Lenczowski, John (2011). ''Full Spectrum Diplomacy and Grand Strategy.''Lexington Books. xii–xiv ISBN 0739150650〕 Dr. Lenczowski founded the Institute on the basic principle that the higher education and development of the next generation of America's leaders is of the most fundamental and critical concern. IWP seeks to foster and prepare its students who understand the changing threats and realities of the contemporary world order and who are first and foremost committed to moral and ethical standards, in order to someday become "men and women committed to a cause greater than themselves".〔http://www.iwp.edu/about/〕 Other senior staffers from Reagan’s National Security Council helped form the core of the Institute’s original faculty.〔"John Lenczowski's Institute of World Politics"〕 From 1991–2005, IWP maintained an affiliation with Boston University.〔ibid.〕〔http://diplomatdc.wordpress.com/nssp/〕 This affiliation ended in 2006 as IWP attained independent and full accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.〔(Middle States Commission on Higher Education )〕 In 2008, IWP became one of 17 academic institutions that is qualified by the U.S. Army to host Senior Service Fellows.〔http://usacac.army.mil/cac2/IPO/repository/SSC_Schools_%20Info_Catalog_AY12-13().pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Institute of World Politics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
