The Philip Merrill Center for Strategic Studies operates both, as an academic program at The Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) of The Johns Hopkins University and as an outreach program.  The academic program in Strategic Studies comprises one of the sub-fields of the International Relations concentration available to SAIS students and deals with the relationship between politics and military power.  The Center's outreach activities aim to improve the quality of teaching in strategic studies and promote dialogue on major issues of the national security agenda.
