(Please make sure to choose GW Cold War Group (GWCW) under Gift Designation)
Overview
The George Washington Cold War group (GWCW) works closely with the National Security Archive and the Wilson Center’s History and Public Policy Project (home of the Digital Archive focused on Cold War history) to build a community of faculty, scholars, and graduate students dedicated to encouraging a multilingual, multi-disciplinary and multi-national exploration of the Cold War experience and its implications for understanding current policy issues.
Founded in 2000, GWCW promotes research and scholarship on this critical period in international affairs and strives to elucidate the ways in which Cold War legacies (economic, political, psychological, military, and environmental) affect public policy in many parts of the world. GWCW supports the work of the next generation of Cold War scholars by co-hosting the annual Graduate Student Conference on the Cold War which rotates among GWU, the London School of Economics and the University of California at Santa Barbara.
