2 The Institute of World Politics is a graduate school of national security and international affairs, dedicated to developing leaders with a sound understanding of international realities and the ethical conduct of statecraft, based on knowledge and appreciation of the founding principles of the American political economy and the Western moral tradition.

3 A Message from the President Welcome to The Institute ofworld Politics, a graduate school founded to fill a major national need: to supply professional education in statecraft, national security, and international affairs offered nowhere else. By teaching all the arts of statecraft and how they are integrated into national strategy, we emphasize the development of a capacity to think strategically.we believe that when governments resort to force, it is often a sign of the failure to use the many non-military instruments of power effectively. Here, the study of statecraft rests on a foundational curriculum of selected liberal arts that, today, are seldom mastered sufficiently for purposes of successful professional work in the most dangerous and sensitive functions of government. A key element of our philosophy is our concern with character development: specifically, the cultivation of those personal and civic virtues that are optimally suited to producing the moral and ethical conduct of our nation s highest public policy priority national security. It is a cornerstone of our curriculum that one cannot effectively defend a country and civilization that one neither fully understands nor appreciates. In a nation where all who are responsible for the defense of our country must take an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States, patriotism is an absolute requirement for the profession. The question, then, is whether that patriotism is to be primitive and tenuous or well informed and morally ordered. The Institute of World Politics is dedicated to the education and formation of the next generation of leaders who understand the harsh realities of the world and who are fully intellectually and morally equipped to defend our country and civilization men and women committed to a cause greater than themselves. John Lenczowski is founder and president of The Institute of World Politics. From 1981 to 1983 Dr. Lenczowski served in the State Department in the Bureau of European Affairs and as Special Advisor to the Under Secretary for Political Affairs. From 1983 to 1987 he was Director of European and Soviet Affairs at the National Security Council. Dr. Lenczowski received his M.A. and Ph.D. from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. He is the author of Soviet Perceptions of U.S. Foreign Policy (1982), The Sources of Soviet Perestroika (1990), Full-Spectrum Diplomacy and Grand Strategy (2010), and numerous other writings on U.S. foreign policy, public diplomacy, cultural diplomacy, counter-propaganda, political warfare, Soviet/Russian affairs, comparative ideologies, intelligence, strategic deception, counterintelligence, and integrated strategy. ABOUT THE INSTITUTE OF WORLD POLITICS 1

4 About The Institute of World Politics A Unique Educational Experience The Institute of World Politics (IWP) is unique among graduate schools, filling several educational needs with a curriculum offered by no other academic institution in America, and perhaps the world. This curriculum is designed to prepare students to be effective leaders in statecraft, national security, and foreign policy. It includes the study of all the instruments of power and how these instruments are integrated at the level of grand strategy. These include: diplomacy; military strategy; opinion formation and public diplomacy; intelligence and counterintelligence; psychological strategy; political action and political warfare; economic strategy; moral suasion and other forms of soft power; and effective leadership. The Institute s curriculum exposes students to the full spectrum of international realities, including history, political culture, the practices of foreign powers (including those that exceed traditional diplomatic norms), current and potential threats, and the strategic role of ideas, values, and belief systems in world politics. In doing so, the Institute s courses examine subjects that the academy, the official foreign policy and national security culture, and its training centers, rarely do on a systematic basis. The Institute has some of the best instructors in the world in their respective fields. These include ambassadors, senior intelligence officials, military officers, presidential advisers, and senior congressional staff members. Almost all are scholar-practitioners with both academic credentials and high-level governmental and nongovernmental experience in the subjects they teach. Each course is taught by a principal professor. Many courses have occasional guest lecturers, many of whom are prominent figures in government and the broader policy community. Several of the faculty occupy senior positions in government, but continue to teach at the Institute as well. The Institute s student body includes recent graduates of colleges and universities from the United States and around the world and a mix of mid-career professionals from government, the armed forces, industry, and foreign embassies and governments, whose various perspectives enrich the classroom experience. IWP has special relationships with several U.S. government agencies and the U.S. Armed Forces, which send their personnel to the Institute for study in degree programs, certificate programs, fellowships, and internships. Historically, the U.S. Naval War College has approved almost all of the Institute s courses as eligible electives for its students. The U.S. Army has qualified IWP as one of seventeen academic institutions eligible to host colonel-ranked officers as Senior War College Fellows, where a tour at IWP substitutes for attending the Army War College. 2 ABOUT THE INSTITUTE OF WORLD POLITICS

5 Finally, the educational philosophy of the Institute, based on a recognition of the need to cultivate civic virtue and responsibility in the exercise of power, distinguishes itself from the widespread utilitarianism, relativism, and moral neutrality present in our culture. All these factors unite to create the unique purpose, curriculum, philosophy, and method of instruction that are to be found at The Institute of World Politics. Education in the Fundamentals of Statecraft The Institute offers Master s degree, certificate, and continuing education programs with a professional curriculum covering the various elements of statecraft. Its curriculum also includes an interdisciplinary foundational course of study of the relevant elements of comparative political culture, Western moral precepts, practical political economics, and political and diplomatic history. The Institute s curriculum has six major components: 1. The study of all of the elements of statecraft, including: the arts of war, peacemaking, and diplomacy; public diplomacy and cultural diplomacy; psychological strategy and political action; economic strategy; intelligence and counterintelligence; the exercise of intangible instruments of power such as moral leadership, will-power, courage, rhetoric, etc.; and the integration of such elements into overall national strategy. 2. The study of diplomatic history, salient elements of comparative political culture, ideology and religion, the practices of foreign powers, and developments that affect the security interests of the United States. This component focuses on the often-neglected role and consequences of ideas in international politics. It also includes the study of unpleasant realities of international affairs, such as: treaty violations; massive violations of human rights; terrorism; disinformation, strategic deception, and psychological warfare; economic warfare; espionage; and other instruments employed by authoritarian regimes, terrorist groups, and transnational movements that the United States is likely to encounter in the world. 3. The review of fundamental principles of American political philosophy, including: democratic republicanism, limited government, individual rights, private property, the rule of law, and morally-ordered political/economic liberty. 4. The study of the Western moral tradition and the application of ethics to policymaking and the use of power. 5. The study of economics, including economic statecraft and the salient elements of economic theory and history necessary for those working in the defense, intelligence, and foreign affairs communities. 6. Character-building education that encourages those who pursue public service to cultivate those qualities necessary for statesmanship and moral leadership. ABOUT THE INSTITUTE OF WORLD POLITICS 3

6 Benefits of Studying at IWP Students at the Institute attend small, seminar-style classes, where the student/faculty ratio is 12:1. They learn from a distinguished faculty of scholarpractitioners with significant, high-level experience in policymaking. Many classes also feature guest lecturers, many of whom are current and former senior government officials who impart their practical knowledge. Discussion and lectures are enriched by insightful anecdotes and lessons learned by participants in recent historical events. Because of its location in Washington, D.C., students are offered direct access to the heart of the U.S. foreign policy community and interaction with many of its leaders. Speakers at the Institute, whether faculty, guest lecturers, or speakers at extracurricular functions to which students are invited, are drawn from the highest ranks of the U.S. government, as well as from embassies, other governments, and domestic and international organizations specializing in national security affairs. The Institute s unique courses offer specialized professional education not available elsewhere. All courses enhance students capacity to understand and address major current issues. Students frequently learn from their classmates, some of whom are officials in agencies of the U.S. and foreign governments. They often receive career advice from, and establish valuable contacts with, fellow students, their professors, and the guest faculty. Finally, the Institute s career services program helps place students in professional positions in government service, government contracting companies (many of which perform work that used to be done within government but is now outsourced), and other relevant private or international organizations. IWP students enjoy consistent success in competing for selective jobs in all these various institutions. 4 ABOUT THE INSTITUTE OF WORLD POLITICS

7 Master of Arts Degree Programs IWP s Master of Arts degrees are professional degrees designed for students who intend to pursue a career in the intelligence, national security, or international affairs fields. Students may be enrolled full-time (9 or more credit hours per semester) or part-time (less than 9 credit hours per semester), but must complete their degree in five calendar years or less. Three of IWP s M.A. degrees (Statecraft and International Affairs, Statecraft and National Security Affairs, and Strategic Intelligence Studies) require 52 credit hours of coursework. After successful completion of all coursework, each student will be required to pass a one-hour oral examination and a three-hour written comprehensive examination. IWP s final two Master s degree programs (the Master of Arts in Strategic and International Studies [Professional] and the Executive Master of Arts in National Security Affairs) are designed for mid-career professionals with varying levels of experience in relevant fields, and require 36 and 28 graduate-level credits respectively.

21 Certificates of Graduate Study IWP s graduate certificate programs are designed for mid-career professionals and other advanced students who wish to pursue studies in national security, international affairs, and related fields, but who do not desire a degree. The certificates are intended to encourage students continuing professional and academic growth, and are immediately applicable to practitioners of a wide variety of disciplines in the U.S. intelligence community, the foreign policy community, the defense community, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector. Each of the Institute s graduate certificates consists of five four-credit-hour graduate-level courses. No distinction in the classroom is made between certificate students and students in other IWP programs; all students share access to IWP s distinguished faculty members and perform the same research and other assignments. Nearly all of IWP s courses are offered in the evening hours (generally 6:30-9:30 pm), making the program ideal for professional students. This schedule makes it possible for even part-time students to complete an IWP certificate of graduate study in one calendar year. As the only professional graduate school in the United States and perhaps the world dedicated to teaching all the instruments of statecraft and their strategic integration, The Institute of World Politics provides its students with unequalled opportunities for professional growth and advancement. The Institute s certificate program provides an avenue to professional students to further their careers by studying a distinct area of statecraft. Engaging in advanced academic study of one of IWP s certificate topics ensures that professional students have an understanding of current issues in fields immediately relevant to them. Students and alumni of IWP are employed throughout Washington, D.C. and the world, in every member agency of the U.S. intelligence community; in the departments of State, Defense, Treasury, Commerce, Energy, and Homeland Security; scores of nongovernmental organizations; and the private sector.
