2013 College of William and Mary Foundation International Peace and Security Dynamics of Global Power $307,500
Date: 03/07/2013
Duration (months): 24
Description: For a project to strengthen the links between the academic and policy communities in the international relations field
Link: http://www.wm.edu
Abstract: The last decade has brought a resurgence of interest within both the academy and the policy world in studying and improving the interaction between these two communities. A 2012 Teaching, Research and International Policy (TRIP) survey conducted by the College of William and Mary, confirmed that international relations scholars overwhelmingly believe there is a gulf between the academy and the policy world and that it needs to be bridged. To address this challenge, the project seeks to leverage recent efforts to understand and address this gulf by bringing together the major participants in these efforts, along with those who have worked in both communities. The project also seeks to build on previous Corporation support for the TRIP survey, to improve the quality of the data available to scholars and policymakers interested in linking the academic and policy worlds of international relations.
2013 Center for the National Interest International Peace and Security Dynamics of Global Power $330,000
Date: 03/07/2013
Duration (months): 24
Description: For projects on U.S. relations with Asian and middle Eastern powers
Link: www.cftni.org
Abstract: At a time of great challenge for Western economies, industry and development are exploding in Asia, especially in India and China. The impact of that footprint is especially important in the Middle East. There, the danger of nuclear proliferation is increasing and competition for threatened resources such as water, minerals, and energy is escalating, all against the backdrop of climate change. The Center for the National Interest (CNI) is carrying out two interconnected projects. The first will work to analyze how the compounding factors of resource competition and climate change will affect key U.S. diplomatic and security issues on the Middle East-Asian agenda. The second will assess how, moving forward, the issues impact the unresolved question of Iran
2013 Partnership for a Secure America, Inc. International Peace and Security Dynamics of Global Power $350,000
Date: 03/07/2013
Duration (months): 24
Description: For a project to develop upcoming U.S. congressional staff leaders on international peace and security issues
Link: www.psaonline.org
Abstract: Partnership for a Secure America (PSA) operates on the premise that progress within Congress on peace and security-related issues can most effectively be accomplished when bipartisan consensus exists in the lawmaking body. To advance that bipartisan accord, PSA established the Congressional Partnership Program (CPP). CPP creates opportunities through events and retreats for congressional staffers from across the political spectrum. They discuss important foreign policy and national security questions; absorb consensus building skills; and participate in a growing alumni network dedicated to cooperative action. Program staff members are recommending renewed support so that CPP can continue to encourage bipartisan action in the Senate and the House of Representatives that ultimately could create strong working relationships and break down partisan barriers within Congress.
