Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars

The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars aims to unite the world of ideas to the world of policy by supporting pre-eminent scholarship and linking that scholarship to issues of concern to officials in Washington.

As both a distinguished scholar and national leader, President Wilson felt strongly that the scholar and the policymaker were "engaged in a common enterprise". Today the Center takes seriously his views on the need to bridge the gap between the world of ideas and the world of policy, bringing them into creative contact, enriching the work of both, and enabling each to learn from the other.

Articles from this site are available from CIAO and FAS.Many of the articles in the Wilson Quarterly can be viewed from this site or through EBSCO, GALE, or PROQUEST.
