Research
TISS is a community of scholars and it is dedicated to the promotion of research in the field of international security. Over the years it has fostered the research of individual members by providing them with limited financial support and offering them a critical but friendly environment in which to discuss their ideas. It has also organized a series of major research projects and secured funding from foundations such as the Carnegie Corporation and the Smith Richardson Foundation. These typically have involved not only faculty members (and sometimes graduate students) at our three constituent universities but also scholars and analysts from across the nation and beyond. During the last decade TISS sponsored three major research projects: the "Study of War Project," the Project on the "Gap between Military and Civilian Society," and the "Wielding American Power Project." All have encouraged interdisciplinary discussion, influenced policy at the highest level, and resulted in numerous publications.
