Description
In 2015, the Corporation funded a project at the University of Notre Dame to help bridge the gap between scholarship and policy related to international peace and security. The project concentrated its efforts on countering the growing “cult of the irrelevant”—the privileging of analytical technique over substantive findings—in academic political science and its subfield of international relations. It developed a number of timely inputs into academic and policy thinking on bridging the gap, including surveys of academics and policymakers on the effectiveness and relevance of different bridging practices; high visibility publications aimed at policy audiences; and the book, The Cult of the Irrelevant: The Waning Influence of Social Science on National Security. This grant facilitates the further dissemination and discussion of the project’s findings and outputs.
