The Institute for the Study of Diplomacy is part of the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. The Institute focuses on the implementation of foreign policy, seeking to discover how announced policy objectives can best be pursued, by drawing on the concrete experiences of practitioners and the conceptual, comparative, and historical work of academics.
Founded in 1978 as part of the Walsh School of Foreign Service, the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy (ISD) has sponsored discussions, research, and publications focused on the implementation of foreign policy. ISD's larger constituency is the broader academic and policy community. The Institute reaches this group through publications, conferences, working groups, and research activities, which include participation by men and women who make and influence foreign policy.
