Security Studies Wiki

Posted on 7/8/2007 by Chirol

Over the past week, I’ve been working in conjunction with Michael Tanji of Haft of the Spear on a wiki with the various Security Studies programs for a Masters in the US. It has the dozen resident programs and a half dozen or so long distance programs that are available. The focus is is on security studies, security policy, intelligence and strategy programs as well as programs that offer a Masters in International Relations with a concentration in the aforementioned areas. Should any readers have tips, comments or additional information (including non-US programs), please feel free to leave them in the comments section here or at Haft of the Spear.

Our wiki can be found here.

About Chirol

Sir Ignatius Valentine Chirol (1852 - 1929) was a journalist, prolific author, world historian, and British diplomat. He began his career as a foreign correspondent and later became editor of the London Times. After two decades as a journalist he joined Her Majesty's Foreign Ministry as a diplomat and was subsequently knighted for his distinguished service as a foreign affairs advisor. Additionally, he wrote a dozen books on foreign affairs including The Far Eastern Question (1896), Serbia and the Serbs (1914), The End of the Ottoman Empire (1920) and The Egyptian Problem (1921). He is generally credited with popularizing "Middle East" in reference to the Arabian Peninsula with his book The Middle Eastern Question (1903). "Chirol" is a US citizen and graduate student studying Defense and Strategic Studies and government contractor. As with the historical Chirol, he has traveled to over two dozen countries and lived abroad for many years. Chirol speaks English and German fluently with basic knowledge of manyl of others.

    For non-US programs, consider adding the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP)- http://www.gcsp.ch/e/index.htm

    Also, the big ones in Canada include:

    - “Royal Military College War Studies”:http://www.rmc.ca/academic/warstudy/maprogram_e.html
    - “Centre for Military and Strategic Studies at the University of Calgary”:http://www.cmss.ucalgary.ca/
    - “University of New Brunswick’s Gregg Center for the Study of War and Society”:http://www.unbf.ca/arts/MSS/

    There are a _ton_ of “peace and conflict studies” programs around, but these three are the hardcore ones north of the border.

    A number of the US programs offer study abroad in Geneva which makes it an option for a semester as well.

    YH: Thanks! I’ll look into them!

    Of course, Georgetown’s program is the best!
