التاريخ

President Ronald Reagan signed the United States Institute of Peace Act in 1984.[14]
Spurred by a grassroots movement in the 1970s and 1980s,[بحاجة لمصدر] Senator Jennings Randolph joined senators Mark Hatfield and Spark Matsunaga and Representative Dan Glickman in an effort to form a national peace academy akin to the national military academies.[15] The 1984 act creating USIP followed from a 1981 recommendation of a commission formed to examine the peace academy issue appointed by President Jimmy Carter and chaired by Matsunaga.
Robert F. Turner was the institute's first president and CEO, holding that position from 1986 to 1987. He was followed by Ambassador Samuel W. Lewis (1987–1992), Ambassador Richard H. Solomon (1992–2012), and former congressman Jim Marshall (2012–2013). Kristin Lord served as acting president (2013–2014). Nancy Lindborg was sworn in as president on February 2, 2015 and served until 2020. Lise Grande was named the new president in October, 2020.[16] She continued in that role until April 24, 2024.[17] George Moose became the acting president and CEO.[18]
In its early years, the institute sought to strengthen international conflict management and peacebuilding. In a 2011 letter of support for USIP, the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs stated that this analytical work has "helped to build the conflict management and resolution field, both as an area of study and as an applied science".[19]
Under Solomon's leadership, the institute expanded its operations in conflict zones and its training programs, initially in the Balkans and, after September 11, 2001, in Afghanistan and Iraq.[20] It also became the home of several congressionally mandated blue-ribbon commissions, including the Iraq Study Group, the Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States, and the Quadrennial Defense Review Independent Panel. Today, the institute conducts active programs in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Sudan, South Sudan, and elsewhere.[21]
In 1996, Congress authorized the Navy to transfer jurisdiction of the federal land—a portion of its Potomac Annex facility on what has been known as Navy Hill—to become the site of the permanent USIP headquarters, across the street from the National Mall at 23rd Street and Constitution Avenue NW, in Washington, D.C.[22] Prior to its construction, the institute leased office space in downtown Washington. Construction of the headquarters building concluded in 2011.
Second Trump administration
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on February 19, 2025, stating that "the non-statutory components and functions" of a handful of governmental entities, including the U.S. Institute of Peace, "shall be eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law"; instructing them to "reduce the performance of their statutory functions and associated personnel to the minimum presence and function required by law"; and to "submit a report to the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB director) confirming compliance with this order and stating whether the governmental entity, or any components or functions thereof, are statutorily required and to what extent."[23]
While some have interpreted the executive order as a move to terminate the institute, the United States Institute of Peace Act established the institute as an independent nonprofit institute, and 22 U.S.C. § 4601(b) provides a broad statutory mandate.[14] 22 U.S.C. § 4608 limits the authority of the Office of Management and Budget to reviewing and submitting comments on the institute’s Congressional budget request.[14] Under 22 U.S.C. § 4605(f), the president may remove USIP board members with the approval of the majority of the board or several congressional committees.[24]
In March 2025, Trump said he was firing all USIP board members, except the three ex officio members. Trump also said he was firing institute president Moose and appointing Kenneth Jackson as acting president. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) gained access to the USIP building to install Jackson as president. USIP contested the firings and DOGE's access as illegal.[25][26][27][28] USIP leadership filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration's actions.[29][30][31]
