3.  To develop leaders who understand international
realities and ethics, IWP focuses on six curriculum
components, including the study of the
comprehensive elements of statecraft and the study
of international affairs in relation to national security.
IWP’s curriculum on statecraft explores a wide range
of related concepts in international relations, such as
public and cultural diplomacy, intelligence and
counterintelligence, and the practice of war and
peacemaking. In the context of political action, the
curriculum also considers how intangible facets of
power, such as rhetoric and morality, impact national
strategy.

4.  The school’s curriculum on international
affairs and national security focuses on
the adverse consequences of politics
and ideology in the world. By studying
diplomatic history and current political
climates, students are exposed to
unpleasant truths about human rights
violations, terrorism, and strategic
deception.
