The Institute of Politics and Global Affairs has a dual structure with core teams operating in Long Island/Manhattan and in Ithaca.

Through the partnership of Steve Israel, our director based in Metro New York, and Doug Kriner, our faculty director based on Cornell University’s Ithaca campus, we are pursing a collaborative and integrated programmatic agenda that fits within broad and often-overlapping themes and features events in Metro New York and in Ithaca.

The institute seeks to bring together researchers, students, governing officials, policymakers, and interested public citizens to engage the most important challenges in contemporary politics.
