Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSIs) for Scholars onU.S. National Security Policymaking

Deadline: October 9, Monday, midnight

Program description:

The Study of the U.S. Institute (SUSI) for Scholars on U.S. National Security Policymaking will provide selected scholars and professionals from all over the world an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the foundations of U.S. national security policy and current threats facing the United States. The Institute focuses on the formulation of U.S. foreign and national security policy and the role of the federal government, think-tanks, media, and public opinion in shaping that policy. The Institute will be hosted by the University of Delaware in Winter 2018, January 4 – February 16, 2018.

The all-expense paid program will examine the continuity and change in U.S. national security policy across presidential administrations. The Program will examine the question of how we discern U.S. national security policy continuities and changes that shape the policies and conduct of presidential administrations. The Institute will encourage intellectual engagement, reflection, and interaction with U.S.-based experts to deepen scholarly knowledge of the formulation of U.S. national security policy.

The program will focus on four interconnected modules; 1) The U.S. view of the world and its place in the global system; 2) Terrorism and national security in the U.S. and abroad; 3) U.S. immigration and refugee policies; and 4) The search for the right balance between unilateralism and multilateralism in U.S. national security policy. Each week, scholars will participate in academic sessions, roundtable discussions with U.S. national security experts, and conversations with the broader Newark, Delaware community on key thematic topics. The Institute participants will also travel to San Antonio and Austin, Texas; New York City, New York; Washington, D.C.; and other regional locales.

Ideal candidates:

Selection for the Study of the U.S. Institutes is highly competitive. Ideal candidates: Are mid-career, highly-motivated and experienced scholars and professionals between the ages

of 30-50 from institutions of higher education or research-focused organizations (not-for-profits, think tanks, etc.).

Are individuals whose home institution is seeking to introduce aspects of U.S. studies into its curricula; to develop new courses in the subject area of the Institute; to enhance and update existing courses on the United States; or to offer specialized seminars/workshops for professionals in U.S. studies areas related to the program theme.

Have little or no prior experience in the United States. Are willing and able to fully take part in an intensive post-graduate level academic program and

study tour of key cities in the U.S.
