To broaden available perspectives and provide additional insights into core topic areas of the PSI imprint, we are approaching institutions, both public and private, military and civilian, based in the US and abroad to serve as PSI partners. Partnership opportunities range from publication, co-publication or distribution agreements; digitization/indexing of content or links to archival materials; conference participation or award sponsorship.
Please send us an email to discuss possible partnership options.

AMERICAN MILITARY UNIVERSITY
The American Public University System (APUS) consists of two online universities: American Public University (APU) and American Military University (AMU). APUS' origins reach back to 1991, when James P. Etter, a Marine Corps officer who taught at Marine Corps Base Quantico, retired from active service and launched one of the first 100% online universities, American Military University. AMU was designed to meet the unique educational needs of the military - transient, working adults needing a range of program offerings from traditional courses such as criminal justice to unique courses such as counterterrorism and military intelligence, which are not readily available at most institutions. In 2002, after ten years of growth and service to thousands of students and hundreds of graduates, AMU expanded into the American Public University System, adding the American Public University. APU is designed to extend the system's outreach to better meet the needs of those interested in public service related programs, such as criminal justice, public safety, national security and other adult learners seeking to advance their education through a robust, online curriculum.

INTERNATIONAL SECURITY STUDIES PROGRAM, FLETCHER SCHOOL OF LAW AND DIPLOMACY, TUFTS UNIVERSITY
The program is dedicated to teaching and research on a range of international security issues. Established in 1971, it was one of the first of its kind at an American university. It offers a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the sources of conflict, conflict resolution, the use of force, and the maintenance of peace. The curriculum prepares students for professional careers in both the public and private sectors. The mission of the program is offering courses and seminars on the graduate level in this distinct field of study and to sponsor “outside the classroom” activities, including annual conferences on critical defense-related issues, simulation exercises, guest lectures, field trips, and publications. Every year the Armed Forces send senior officers to take part in seminars that offer students practical insights on international security that complement their coursework.

PHILIP MERRILL CENTER FOR STRATEGIC STUDIES, PAUL H. NITZE SCHOOL OF ADVANCED INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY
The center is an academic program within the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at The Johns Hopkins University for educational development and research. Its three major activities provide graduate students with a curriculum in strategic studies to prepare them for careers in government, interna-tional organizations, academe, and the private sector; develop educational materials and opportunities for university and professional teachers to acquire skills in the field of national security studies; and focus on the relationship between history and policy by bringing together scholars, practitioners, and journalists to explore issues of intellectual substance and practical consequence.

The Pluscarden Programme for the Study of Global Terrorism and Intelligence
This is a project directed by Dr Steve Tsang to study and promote the better understanding of contemporary intelligence and security issues, particularly in light of their importance in the era of global terrorism. Its initial focus is the changing face of intelligence. A key objective of this programme is to foster discussions and debates among those in the front line of intelligence work and the academic world. The starting point of this programme is the belief that academia's capacity to take a long-term, well balanced and broadly based view can be enriched by gaining insights into how Intelligence organisations operate in practice. Likewise, the Intelligence community can benefit from the detached analysis of scholars, who have the luxury of time to give fuller consideration to issues important to the long-term success of Intelligence work, particularly against global terrorism, but do not immediately involve a threat to the security of the realm and safety of the general public. In order to bring about synergy the Programme will promote dialogue and debate among scholars, those concerned with the rights of the individual and those involved in collecting, collating, analysing and using intelligence on a daily basis. The programme will also support the publication and dissemination of research work and selected seminar papers, either in print or on the website, on issues related to the study of Intelligence and global terrorism in the twenty-first century.

Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies (RUSI)
RUSI was founded in 1831, the oldest such institute in the world, at the initiative of the Duke of Wellington. Its original mission was to study naval and military science, what Clausewitz called the 'art of war'. In recent years RUSI has broadened its remit to include all issues of defence and security, including terrorism and the ideologies which foster it and the challenges which we face from other man-made or manassisted threats and from natural disasters. RUSI is a British institution, but operates with an international perspective. It has amassed over the years an unequalled expertise in its field and an outstanding reputation for quality and objectivity. RUSI's heritage and reputation, its location close to the Ministry of Defence and other ministries in Whitehall and its range of contacts with key opinion formers both inside and outside government, gives unique insight and authority.

STRATEGIC STUDIES INSTITUTE, U.S. ARMY WAR COLLEGE
The institute conducts research in support of the U.S. Army War College, provides analysis for the Depart-ment of the Army and other components of the defense establishment, and serves as a bridge to the world-wide strategic studies community. It is composed of both civilian and military academics whose research focuses on global, regional, and functional issues, especially those dealing with Army transformation. Studies published by the institute are distributed to members of the Department of Defense, professional military education institutions, Congress, the media, policy centers, and universities. These studies analyze the political, economic, and military dimensions of major issues to develop strategic recommendations. In addition, the institute produces special reports for the Army leadership. It cosponsors conferences on issues of importance to the Army in collaboration with leading universities and research organizations.
