Welcome to the Eisenhower Center for American Studies

The mission of the Eisenhower Center is the study of the causes, conduct, and consequences of American national security policy and the use of force as an instrument of policy in the twentieth century.

This period coincides with the life (1890-1969) and public career (1911-1961) of General-President Dwight D. Eisenhower and includes three major historical epochs: the extension of American power beyond North America, 1898-1916; the collapse of European hegemony, 1914-1945, and the two world wars; and the US-USSR rivalry of the Cold War and the process of global decolonization.

The Center will increase our understanding of the political culture of the twentieth century United Sates, reflected in the issues of national security.
