Mission



Who we are

Founded in 1924, IWA is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization working across cultural and political boundaries to advance creative approaches to conflict analysis, conflict management, and post-conflict peace-building.

What we do

Since its founding, the Institute of World Affairs (IWA) has been actively engaged in studying the sources of conflict in the international arena and in   developing approaches to conflict management that attempt to address root causes. IWA’s efforts focus on critical issues in access, participation, rule of law, and security along a pre- to post-conflict continuum.

How we do it

  • Distance Education: content and technology

    Web-based courses and professional development programs on a range of topics from conflict analysis and mediation to inter-agency processes in decision-making.

    Professional Development and Policy Analysis

    Professional development workshops for the international diplomatic and security communities on conflict analysis, negotiation, peacebuilding. 

    The Institute sponsors roundtable discussions and publishes occasional  monographs on contemporary issues in world affairs. 

  • Applied Conflict Management

    IWA has worked with partners in conflict prone societies to increase local capacity to address the structural causes of violent conflict. IWA projects have been sited in Southeastern Europe, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.


    The work of the Institute of World Affairs is supported by grants, contracts, and individual donations.
