Arnold A. Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies (SIWPS)

http://www.columbia.edu/cu/siwps/

Aims

SIWPS is a US research centre based at Columbia University founded in 1951 by Dwight D. Eisenhower to promote understanding of the "disastrous consequences of war upon man's spiritual, intellectual, and material progress."

Activities

The Institute itself has no formal teaching program; rather, its members conduct a wide variety of instructional activities through the Political Science Department and the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia. Institute members offer courses on American foreign policy, national security, international politics, political economy, environmental policy, and international organization.

Publications and other Resources

The website offers no downloadable resources but a list of recent books, journal articles and opinion pieces by SIWPS staff is provided (without hyperlinks).
