The Institute for Global and International Studies'
mission is to foster intellectual exchange and collaborative research on
international and global studies, including international organizations
and law, trade regimes, international development, security, U.S. foreign
policy, global governance, and the links between all of these. The Institute
particularly supports research that "brings practice to theory" by focusing
on challenges that real world problems pose to disciplinary debates, spurring
theoretical innovation. It sponsors a variety of related events, forums,
and funding opportunities related to its goals.
