LSE IDEAS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

LSE IDEAS is a research centre for the study of international affairs, diplomacy and grand strategy at the London School of Economics (LSE). It was founded by Prof Michael Cox and Prof Arne Westad in 2008.[1] Its pre-cursor was the Cold War Studies Centre (CWSC), also co-founded by Prof Cox and Prof Westad.

LSE IDEAS houses the Philippe Roman Chair in History and International Affairs. Timothy Snyder is the chair holder for the 2013–14 academic year. Previous chair holders include Anne Applebaum, Ramachandra Guha, Niall Ferguson, Gilles Kepel,[2] Chen Jian,[3] and Paul Kennedy.[4]

LSE IDEAS works with non-LSE universities on joint degree programmes. It coordinates and administers a double MSc with the LSE Department of International Relations, the LSE Department of International History, and Peking University.[5] In the past, LSE IDEAS also coordinated with Columbia University on a two-year programme culminating in a Master's Degree in International and World History from LSE and Columbia.[6]
