Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies is a comglomerate of research centers at Stanford University in Stanford, California.
The institute is composed of five research centers:
- Stanford University Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC)
- Stanford University Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL)
- Stanford University Center for Environmental Science and Policy (CESP)
- Stanford University Center for Health Policy/Primary Care and Outcome Research (CHP/PCOR)
- Stanford University Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC)
Founded in 1983 as the Institute for International Studies, IIS added Stanford to the beginning of its name in 2003, and is abbreviated as Stanford IIS. On September 1, 2005 Stanford IIS was renamed the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies due to $50 million donation to the Institute from Brad Freeman and Ron Spogli, and is now abbreviated as FSI. IIS was founded by former Stanford President Richard Wall Lyman, who became its first director.
In addition to its five centers, the Institute sponsors various programs such as the European Forum, Initiative on Distance Learning, and the Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education.
The current director of FSI is Coit D. Blacker, who served as Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and Senior Director for Russian, Ukrainian and Eurasian Affairs at the National Security Council during the presidency of Bill Clinton under National Security Advisor Anthony Lake.
The deputy director's post was vacated in February 2005, when Stephen D. Krasner left to become Director of Policy Planning at the State Department under Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in the presidency of George W. Bush.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (under George W. Bush) and former Secretary of Defense William Perry (under Bill Clinton) are among the faculty members of FSI.
