The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars,
established by Congress in 1968 and headquartered in Washington, D.C.,
is a living national memorial to President Wilson. The Center’s mission
is to commemorate the ideals and concerns of Woodrow Wilson by providing a link between the worlds of ideas and policy, while fostering
research, study, discussion, andcollaboration among a broad spectrum
of individuals concerned with policy and scholarship in national and
international affairs. Supported by public and private funds, the Center
is a nonpartisan institution engaged in the study of national and world
affairs. It establishes and maintains a neutral forum for free, open, and
informed dialogue. Conclusions or opinions expressed in Centerpublications and programs are those of the authors and speakers and do not
necessarily reflect the views of the Center staff, fellows, trustees, advisory groups, or any individuals or organizations that provide financial
support to the Center.
The Center is the publisher of The Wilson Quarterly and home
of Woodrow Wilson Center Press, dialogue radio and television, and
the monthly news-letter“Centerpoint.” For more information about
the Center’s activities and publications, please visit us on the web at
