In 2024- 25 the United States faces a Triple Threat to National Security, all while dealing with one of the most chaotic and divisive presidential election seasons in its history. Russia, Iran, and China are challenging US interests and leadership. The risk of escalating kinetic warfare is real and eminent, while antisemitism, anti-Americanism, and culture wars flare on our college campuses and in our politics. What are the real aims and intentions of our adversaries, and what strategies should the US pursue? How do we deal with the politicized domestic environment?
The Institute of World Politics, a private graduate school of national security, intelligence and international affairs in Washington DC, educates its students on the use of hard and soft power to minimize the potential for kinetic warfare while protecting US interests. The IWP curriculum stands on a firm foundation of American Founding Principles.
