Fund Development

“I thoroughly enjoyed the curriculum, the small group environment, and the open dialogue between faculty and students at IWP. Moreover, the guest lecturers who appeared here make this institution all the more unique."

Favored School of Statecraft

Wall Street Journal on IWP

“In sharp contrast to a foreign-policy world that tends to elevate method and process.... The Institute of World Politics roots itself in American values....When the Institute started up in 1990, the Berlin Wall had fallen, people were talking about the end of history.... But in the 10 years since, we've had the Gulf War, Osama bin Laden, Kosovo, and the rise of China. The world will not always run in accord with American interests and ideals. All the more reason for a school of statecraft that does."
