History
The impetus for the institute's formation came from
The creation of the institute was one of the first that took place in the aftermath of
The initial director of the Institute of War and Peaces Studies was Professor
Fox would be director of the institute for 25 years.
Besides the directors, prominent scholars associated with the institute have included Samuel P. Huntington (who was associate director of the institute from 1959 to 1962),[19] Glenn Snyder, Roger Hilsman, Annette Baker Fox, Kenneth Waltz, Robert Jervis, Severine Autesserre, Kim Martern, and Stephen Biddle. The institute also helped foster the careers of several members who went on to high positions in government, including Michael Armacost, Joan E. Spero, Lynn E. Davis, Jean-Marie Guehenno, and Catherine McArdle Kelleher.[5] In terms of physical location of the institute, it started in brownstones on 117th Street, then during the 1960s moved twice on a temporary basis before settling into the new International Affairs Building on 118th Street in 1970.[5]
In 2003, the institute was renamed in honor of Arnold A. Saltzman, an industrialist and diplomat who graduated from Columbia College in 1936.[20] Administratively, the institute remained within the School of International and Public Affairs.[20] Two endowed chairs under the Saltzman name were also added at that time.[20] Saltzman said, "No bugles blow for peace – and peace is not simply the absence of war. There is no mechanism in our government to wage peace, to look beyond immediate crises and plan for a peaceful future. This Institute can help move us in that direction."[20]
Programs
The Institute of War and Peace Studies has never had a teaching program of its own; rather, instruction is carried out through the university's Department of Political Science and the School of International and Public Affairs.[1] The goal has been that members would engage in research, which would inform their teaching in other university departments and schools, and that teaching would likewise benefit the research in return.[5] The institute would become the only non-area-specializing one within the School of International Affairs (later the School of International and Public Affairs).[5]
Active programs at the institute during the 2010s and beyond have included the annual Saltzman Forum, the annual Summer Workshop on the Analysis of Military Operations and Strategy, the International Security Policy Concentration of the School of International and Public Affairs, the Saltzman Working Paper Series, the International Relations Faculty Seminar led by Professor
