Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies
The institutional affiliate for the ISP concentration is the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies (SIWPS), founded by Dwight D. Eisenhower when he served as president of Columbia, and located on the 13th Floor of the International Affairs Building. This is the center for faculty in security studies. IWPS has also been home to the first two holders of the Davis Chair in the Practice of Diplomacy, Jack Matlock (former ambassador to the Soviet Union), and Warren Zimmerman (U.S. ambassador to Yugoslavia); Professor Kenneth N. Waltz, formerly of the Berkeley Political Science Department, and author of seminal works in international relations theory; Dr. Stephanie G. Neuman, Director of the Comparative Defense Studies Program, IWPS research associate, and specialist on conventional arms trade and Third World security questions (and who also teaches a course for ISP); Dr. Andrea Bartoli, director of the International Conflict Resolution Program; and occasional visiting scholars. IWPS occasionally sponsors seminars and guest speakers. ISP concentrators are eligible, along with graduate students in international relations in the Political Science Department, to be Graduate Student Associates of the Institute.
