Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI)

The Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) is Stanford University's primary forum for interdisciplinary research on contemporary international issues and challenges. Working in partnership with the seven schools at Stanford and the Hoover Institution, FSI undertakes collaborative research and teaching which transcend disciplinary, school, and national boundaries. Priority areas of research include: efforts to prevent nuclear proliferation and ensure effective responses to acts of biological, chemical, or nuclear terrorism; linkages among democracy, development, and the rule of law; global healthcare delivery and outcomes; political, economic, and social change in the Asia-Pacific region; national, regional, and multilateral security concerns in the region; European integration; trade-offs among energy, food security, and environmental degradation; global justice and human rights; overcoming barriers to conflict resolution; and the political, legal, and economic factors affecting the operation of modern energy markets.

Opportunities for undergraduate research include the CISAC Interschool Honors Program in International Security Studies and the CDDRL Undergraduate Honors Program. The institute manages five student fellowship programs and three faculty grant programs.

Constituent centers within FSI include: the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law; the Center for Health Policy/Center for Primary Care and Outcomes Research; the Center for International Security and Cooperation; and the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center.

FSI administers the following programs: the Forum on Contemporary Europe; the Program on Food Security and the Environment; the Inter-University Center for Japanese Language Studies; the Program on Energy and Sustainable Development; the Program on Global Justice; the Stanford Center on International Conflict and Negotiation; and the Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education.
