The Institute of World Politics (IWP) is a graduate school of national security, intelligence, and international affairs in Washington, DC and Reston, VA. Founded in 1990, it offers courses related to intelligence, national security, and diplomatic communities.[citation needed]

History[]

IWP was founded in 1990 by John Lenczowski, the former director of European and Soviet Affairs at the United States National Security Council during the Reagan administration.[1] His stated purpose for establishing the Institute was to develop a graduate school and curriculum that integrates "all the instruments of statecraft" and teaches students to apply them across the spectrum of conflict but to remain grounded in American founding principles and the rule of international law.[2][1]

From 1991 to 2005, it maintained an affiliation with Boston University.[1][3] This affiliation ended in 2006, as IWP attained independent accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.[4] IWP is licensed to operate in Washington, DC by the DC Higher Education Licensure Commission[5] and in Virginia by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia.[6]

Most IWP graduates gain employment in national security, foreign affairs, and intelligence agencies.[citation needed]

Campus[]

The Institute of World Politics is located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Its campus consists of two buildings, the Marlatt Mansion and Bently Hall, both of which contain classrooms and administrative offices. Both building are designated contributing properties to the Sixteenth Street Historic District. Donald E. Bently was a longtime Institute Board member and major financial supporter of The Institute.[34][35] Bently Hall at the Institute is named for Bently, who purchased the Marlett Mansion and two other buildings that house the Institute campus.[36]

The Institute holds the private library of former CIA Director William Casey[37] and the American Security Council Foundation Library.[38]

In 2020, IWP opened a campus in Reston, Virginia.[39]

Funding[]

Don Bently purchased the Marlatt Mansion and two adjacent townhouses for the Institute. For the first 15 years, he rented the building to the Institute for $1.00 per year. He paid several million dollars to gut and completely renovate the townhouses and later donated them to the Institute. He also endowed the Donald E. Bently Chair of Political Economy.[40]
