Description
Founded in 2007, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) is a non-partisan, non-profit, public policy research organization which aims to advance an informed understanding of military affairs through reliable research, trusted analysis, and innovative education. Additionally, the ISW educates and trains the next generation of security leaders to better understand conflicts, military operations, and strategy through three educational programs: Hertog War Studies Program, an internship program, and an analyst program. Corporation support will help the ISW build capacity within their organization to help tackle some of the most difficult challenges in the current geostrategic environment, new threats and dangerous interconnectedness between them. ISW looks at the increasing pace with which crisis occur that could potentially undermine the basis of international peace around the world. In particular, the ISW will concentrate on the implications of the rise of ISIS and military affairs in Iraq and Afghanistan.
