The TRIP Project at the College of William & Mary surveys scholars of international relations for their opinions on current events, paradigms, questions about the discipline and long-term trends in foreign affairs. Are students and scholars of IR equipped to assist policy makers as they confront this rapidly changing world? Conversely, does research and teaching in IR have any influence on the real world of international politics and policy making? Almost no systematic research has been done to document empirical patterns or verify causal hypotheses along these lines.TRIP started in 2003 as an effort to explore and analyze the connections between teaching, research, and policy in International Relations. We seek to remedy these shortcomings by creating new datasets and analyzing these relationships.
