Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies
Encyclopedia
The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (informally the Graduate Institute of International Studies
, or Graduate Institute) is a highly selective postgraduate educational and research institute situated in Geneva
, Switzerland
. It is active in the fields of political science
, international law
, international economics
, international
history
, anthropology
and development studies
. It is an independent academic institution, but is loosely associated with the University of Geneva
.
The Graduate Institute was established in 1927 as an offshoot of the League of Nations
. It is thus continental Europe's oldest school of international relations
(after Aberystwyth University in Wales
, which is not on the European mainland but was founded in 1919). It was the first university entirely dedicated to the study of that field, and it offered one of the first doctoral programs in international relations in the world. Originally, the Institute mainly formed diplomats associated with the then Geneva-based League of Nations
, the United Nations' predecessor. Today, it is an institution of advanced research and teaching committed to excellence, independence and diversity, seeking to prepare international actors to respond to the challenges of tomorrow’s world.
In 2008, the Institute absorbed the Graduate Institute of Development Studies
(IUED), a smaller separate post-graduate institution also based in Geneva. IUED, which was founded in 1961, ceased to exist when it became part of the Graduate Institute of International Studies.
The Graduate Institute is accredited as a "Haute école" by the Swiss University Conference
and is a full member of the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs, which regroups leading universities with programs in international studies.
It is not ranked as a standalone institution in major university rankings, being rather considered as part of the University of Geneva. The University of Geneva was ranked 32nd by Newsweeks "Top 100 Global Universities" survey, while in 2008, the Times Higher Education Supplement ranked it 68th among best universities worldwide.
The Graduate Institute counts seven Nobel prize recipients and a Pulitzer prize winner among its alumnae or past faculty members.
Teaching at the Institute is mostly done in English.
was founded in 1927. Its moving spirits were the scholar–diplomats William Rappard
and Paul Mantoux
who worked together as senior officials in the secretariat in the first headquarters of the League of Nations
building, the "Palais Wilson". Their shared vision was for a graduate school for preparing statesmen and secretariat staff via impartial study of international relations as an academic field.
Rappard was influential in convincing his friend US President Woodrow Wilson
to locate the League in Geneva
. Indeed, the current site of the Institute in the Parc Barton on the shore of Lake Geneva
, was one of the first sites considered for the organization’s headquarters. The original mandate of the Institute highlighted the aim of working closely with the League and the International Labour Organization
(its precursor in Geneva) in a cooperative exchange through which the Institute would prepare staff and delegates, while the intergovernmental organizations would provide intellectual resources and diplomatic expertise as guest lecturers.
The professors chosen to teach at the Institute constituted a galaxy of brilliant academic merit. As Rappard himself was to observe, ironically, the two men to whom the Institute owed a debt for so happy a selection were Mussolini and Hitler! From 1928 onwards, the faculty consisting of co-directors Professors Mantoux and Rappard, and two local teachers was reinforced by the arrival of eminent newcomers from abroad - Hans Wehberg and Georges Scelle
for law, Maurice Bourquin for diplomatic history, and Pitman B. Potter for political science; and the rising young Swiss jurist, Paul Guggenheim.
These outstanding scholars were soon joined by other heavyweights, notably Hans Kelsen, the towering theorist and philosopher of law, Guglielmo Ferrero
, the polymath Italian historian, and Carl Burckhardt, scholar and diplomat. Later arrivals, also seeking refuge from the dictatorships, included the apostle of the free market economy, Ludwig von Mises
, and another economist, Wilhelm Ropke
, who wielded much influence over German postwar liberal economic policy and the development of the theory of a social market system.
Around the constellation of permanent professors orbited a galaxy of visiting professors teaching for a semester or two, or giving cours temporaires. The list of their names reads like an Almanac de Gotha of prominent intellectuals of the 1930s. Between 1928 and 1957, in addition to the 40 professors who had taught for a minimum of one semester, over 260 lecturers from Switzerland or abroad, contributed through their weeklong cours temporaires to enriching considerably the curriculum of the Institute.
In a sense the cours temporaires were the intellectual showcase of the Institute, attracting such names as Raymond Aron
, René Cassin
, Luigi Einaudi
, John Kenneth Galbraith
, G. P. Gooch, Gottfried Haberler
, Friedrich von Hayek, Hersch Lauterpacht
, Lord McNair
, Gunnar Myrdal
, Harold Nicolson
, Philip Noel Baker, Pierre Renouvin
, Lionel Robbins
, Jean de Salis, Count Sforza, Jacob Viner
, and the Montagu Burton Professor of International Relations at Oxford University, Sir Alfred Zimmern.
The last-named deserves separate mention for his own pioneering role in the systematic study and teaching of international relations. As early as 1924, while serving on the staff of the International Council for intellectual Cooperation in Paris, he began organising summer schools in international affairs under the auspices of the University of Geneva
- the "Zimmern schools" as they were known. That initiative was taken in parallel with the early planning for the launch of the Graduate Institute and the experience acquired by the former helped to shape the latter. Zimmern retained friendly connections with the Geneva institute when he moved to Oxford to take up the first specialized chair in international relations at the University of Oxford.
Despite its small size (the faculty never exceeded 25 members before the 1980s), four of those who have taught for more than one semester (i.e. excluding guest lecturers for shorter periods) have won Nobel Prizes for economics - Gunnar Myrdal
, Friedrich von Hayek, Maurice Allais
, and Robert Mundell
.
From 1927 until 1954 HEI obtained most of its funds from a generous subvention provided by the Rockefeller Foundation
. Since then the Canton of Geneva and the Swiss Federal Council have borne most of the costs. The change in financial sponsorship coincided with a change of Directorship in 1955, when the Lausanne historian Jacques Freymond
took over from William Rappard. Freymond inaugurated a period of rapid expansion in the range of subjects taught, in the size of the faculty and in student numbers, which continued after his retirement in 1978. During that period HEI was host to many international colloquia dealing with subjects as diverse as preconditions for east-west negotiations, relations with China and the rising influence of that country in world affairs, European integration, techniques and results of politico-socioeconomic forecasting (the famous early Club of Rome
reports, and the Futuribles project led by Bertrand de Jouvenel
), the causes and possible antidotes to terrorism, Pugwash concerns and many more. Landmark publications of these years included the celebrated Treatise on international law by Professor Paul Guggenheim and the path-breaking six-volume compilation of historical documents relating to the various forms taken by the Communist International.
Despite many changes over its seven and a half decades, such as its merger with the Graduate Institute of Development Studies
in 2007, IHEID has remained faithful to its original vocation, and retains much of its original character.
On average, 19% of applicants are admitted to one of the Graduate Institute's study programs.

The Institute has also entered into partnerships with international academic institutions for the delivery of joint diplomas:
) and Lake Geneva
. The main building, Villa Barton, is located in Parc Barton, a private park on the shores of Lake Geneva
, while newer constructions are in the district regrouping international organizations with offices in Geneva, such as the United Nations
. The Villa Moynier campus opened in October 2009 to house the Graduate Institute-based Geneva Academy of International humanitarian law and human rights. The building holds a symbolic significance, as it was originally owned by Gustave Moynier
, co-founder of the International Committee of the Red Cross
. It was subsequently used by the League of Nations and was the headquarters of the International Committee of the Red Cross between 1933 and 1946.
The construction of a new campus, the Maison de la Paix
(House of peace), and of a new residence hall are scheduled to be finished in 2014. The new campus will bring together the different departments of the institute and the library under one roof. The "Maison de la paix" will also house three international centres supported by the Swiss government: the Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF), the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP) and the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD).
The library of the "Maison de la paix" will be named after two Institute alumni - Ambassador Shelby Cullom Davis
and his wife Kathryn Davis
- after Ms. Davis made a $10 million donation to the Institute to help it develop its campus.
IHEID is also planning to build the "Portail des Nations" (or Nations' Portal) near the Palace of Nations. The new building will count a series conference rooms for students and host exhibitions on the role of Geneva in international politics.

These research activities are conducted by the faculty of the Institute, as part of their individual work, or by interdisciplinary teams within centres and programmes whose activity focus on five main fields:
Furthermore, IHEID is home to the Swiss Chair of Human Rights, the Curt Gasteyger
Chair in International Security and Conflict Studies, the André Hoffmann Chair in Environmental Economics, the Pictet Chair in Environmental International Law, the Yves Oltramare Chair on Politics and Religion, and the Swiss Chair of International Humanitarian Law.
In addition, the Institute is planning to open a center dedicated to trade and development in 2011.
co-manage research centres and joint programmes which offer a number of diplomas. In 2002, the Graduate Institute co-founded the Geneva Academy of International humanitarian law and human rights in collaboration with the Faculty of Law at University of Geneva
, which teaches those specialized areas of public international law.
The Institute has created, together with the University of Geneva and other Swiss academic partners, the Swiss Network of International Studies in Geneva which aims at strengthening the field of international studies in Switzerland and stimulating cooperation between academic institutions and international organisations.
The Institute also manages the Academic Platform Switzerland UN, which promotes the study of the United Nations in Switzerland.

The Executive Education division of the Institute has entered into a partnership with Thunderbird School of Global Management
, and has additional partnership agreements with a number of institutions around the world.
.
The Graduate Institute's Publications Office has for mission to ensure the publishing of the International Development Policy Series, published in cooperation with Palgrave Macmillan
, and to support the publication and distribution of the best Ph.D. theses and of monographs.
IHEID is also a partner in the publication of the Refugee Survey Quarterly, the Journal of International Dispute Settlement, Relations Internationales, and the European Journal of Development Research. The Journal of International Criminal Justice, meanwhile, is hosted at the Graduate Institute based Geneva Academy of International humanitarian law and human rights.
This is a particular organization form, because IHEID is constituted as a foundation of private law fulfilling a public purpose. In addition, the political responsibility is shared between the Swiss Confederation
and the Canton of Geneva
. Usually in Switzerland, it is the responsibility of the Cantons
to run public universities, except for the Federal Institutes of Technology (ETHZ
and EPFL
). IHEID is therefore something like a hybrid institution, in-between the two standard categories.

), Peter Gomez (president of the supervisory board of SWX), Joëlle Kuntz (journalist), Yves Mény (president of the European University Institute
in Florence).
