Indiana University Centers and Projects
Indiana University's recognized excellence in both theoretical and area studies provides a strong foundation for research and training programs that forge a broadly construed approach to democracy building. The IDC is comprised of many faculty members, many of whom contribute to acclaimed departments and research centers focused on issues related to contemporary democracy issues.
- The Center for Constitutional Democracy in Plural Societies
ccdps.indiana.edu - The Center for Constitutional Democracy in Plural Societies (CCDPS) at Indiana University studies and promotes constitutional democracy in countries marked by ethnic, religious, linguistic, and other divisions. Founded and directed by John S. Hastings Professor of Law David Williams, the CCDPS will focus its initial work in Burma, Liberia, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan, training the reform leaders of these countries in constitutionalism, parliamentary process, and legal ordering. The center focuses its efforts on the constitutional aspects of democratic reform, enabling plural societies to peaceably provide meaningful self-governance to all their citizens.
- Center on American and Global Security
- The Center on American and Global Security was established in March 2007 as an Indiana University research center. CAGS formulates and implements strategies to broaden and deepen Indiana University's teaching, research, and service missions as they relate to homeland, national, and global security. Founded and directed by David P. Fidler, the James Louis Calamaras Professor of Law, CAGS has initiated many multidisciplinary activities, including projects concerning counterinsurgency, strategic languages and cultures, and national security letters.
