IDEAS: Diplomacy and Strategy website
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009From the Internet Scout Report this week, here’s a great web resource for anyone interested in international affairs and diplomacy:
http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/IDEAS/
“Housed at the London School of Economics and Political Science, the IDEAS center is dedicated to using the School’s ‘unique resources for understanding international events in order to develop research and training programmes that can help us recognize how today’s world came into being and how it may be changed.’Ê For persons interested in international affairs and policy, this site will be a delightful treat, and visitors can meander through their weblog, ‘Who’s who’ area, and calendar of events. The ‘IDEAS Reports‘ section is an area that should not be missed, and users can read and download top-notch reports such as ‘Prospects for Reform? The Iranian Elections’ and ‘Afghanistan: Now You See Me?’ The site is rounded out by the ‘Programmes’ area which describes IDEAS’ current research on the Cold War, Latin America, and the Balkans.”
IDEAS is also home to two academic journals that can be accessed online through the SFU Library: Cold War History and International Politics.
