Partner: David Davies Memorial Institute of International Studies, Aberystwyth, Wales
The David Davies Memorial Institute of International Studies (DDMI) was established in 1951 to commemorate the work of Lord David Davies and was first located in London before moving, along with the journal International Relations, to the University of Wales, Aberystwyth.
DDMI's priorities have evolved with a changing global order, as the internationalist project that initially moved Lord Davies to action has grown beyond the still critically important questions of disarmament and international organisation to encompass an expanded security agenda, questions of international and global responsibility, and the status of the individual in a world of states. The Institute's research activities are multidisciplinary in approach and focus on exploring ethical, political, strategic and legal questions in a policy related context.
DDMI seeks to build bridges between the academic and policy making worlds and to provide a forum in which policy makers, officials, NGOs, academics and the wider public can share different views and perspectives on the most important challenges in contemporary world politics. The Institute seeks to serve the wider community by engaging in public education activities that promote greater awareness of global security challenges within Wales and beyond via hosting lectures, seminars and workshops.
