The InterAgency Study (IAS) series is published by the Command and General Staff College Foundation Press for the Simons Center for Interagency Cooperation. The IAS series represents scholarly, in-depth research that contributes to a better understanding and history of a particular interagency issue or policy. IAS research utilizes mainly primary source material and provides findings and conclusions from an institutional perspective.
The Simons Center is always looking for authors to contribute manuscripts reflecting their experience, study and insight. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit their works after a review of the Simons Center Writer’s Submission Guidelines and the Simons Center Interagency Research Topics list. Manuscripts may be submitted online through the Contribute Content page or by contacting editor@thesimonscenter.org.
InterAgency Studies are primarily web-exclusive publications.
