PSI INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS



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.

AUSTRALIAN STRATEGIC POLICY INSTITUTE

The institute was established to help Australians understand the critical strategic choices that their country will face in coming years and better inform senior government decisionmakers on the issues. It focuses on national concerns and priorities through research, publications, seminars, and international exchanges.

To meet challenges to the strategic balance in the Asia-Pacific region the Australian Strategic Policy Insti-tute publishes information on strategic and defence issues; serves as a resource for innovative ideas through its publications and policy analyses commissioned by the government; helps people across the government, military, academe, media, industry, and other sectors to develop an understanding of critical issues; and explains strategic and defence policies and perspectives to other audiences outside the country.

Founded in 1984, the center is a non-profit organization dedicated to the study of the relationship between war and American society.

The center also administers graduate fellowships and undergraduate internships, conducts outreach programs, and sponsors public lectures as well as other events and conferences.

The oral history program collects interviews with the veterans of World War II and subsequent conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf. The center encourages veterans and their families to donate papers to its research collection, which is open to scholars and students from around the world. In addition, staff members serve as a resource for local and national media on military history and national security policy.

GENEVA CENTRE FOR SECURITY POLICY

The centre was established in 1995 in conjunction with the participation of Switzerland in the Partnership for Peace program initiated by NATO. Organized under the Swiss Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection, and Sports in cooperation with the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, to provide education on security policy, its courses were originally taught by the Graduate Institute for International Studies for Swiss civil servants but have been expanded to enroll international participants. The primary work of the centre is focused on comprehensive training on international security policy for midcareer diplomats, military officers and civil servants from foreign, defense, and other relevant agencies in NATO countries; from Partnership for Peace and Mediterranean Dialogue member nations; and from the Caucasus and Central Asia. Overall, the centre annually trains some 200 participants from over 40 nations. This training seeks to strengthen peace, stability and security, and international cooperation by focusing on challenges of the post-Cold War, which range from new dimensions of security policy—including both human rights and human security—to crisis management and conflict mitigation.

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.

The curriculum prepares students for professional careers in both the public and private sectors.

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.
