The Maxwell School of Syracuse University | Institutes and Centers
 
The Maxwell School is home to a variety of multidisciplinary institutes and research centers that involve graduate students, visiting scholars, and faculty in study, research, conferences, and publications. All of the Maxwell institutes and centers address provocative issues of public concern and provide students and faculty with the opportunity to engage in multidisciplinary scholarship and team projects.

Alan K. Campbell Public Affairs Institute
The Institute is an interdisciplinary research organization dedicated to linking the worlds of scholarship and public affairs.  The Institute supports the study and analysis of public programs and actions, citizenship and participation, public management and public administration, policy processes, governance, civil society, the politics and history of public policy creation, and public affairs research in general.

Global Affairs Institute
The Institute was created to integrate and focus Maxwell's international programs, research, service and training activities in an interdisciplinary setting that promotes global awareness. The Institute supports interdisciplinary programs, such as Studies in Development and Social Transformation, and regional programs such the South Asia Center,, the Program on Latin America and the caribbean (PLACA), and the European Union Center, within the School.

Center for Environmental Policy and Administration
A central purpose of the Center is to guide policy actions by preparing current and future generations of students and professionals to more effectively address the challenges of governance and citizenship in a world in which environmental concerns are increasingly important and complex.

Center for Policy Research
The Center encompasses Maxwell's Metropolitan Studies and Aging Studies programs and is also the administrative home of the University Gerontology Center. It conducts a broad range of interdisciplinary research and related activities in aging, urban and regional studies, education finance and accountability (EFAP), entrepreneurship and public policy (PREPP), income security, poverty, public finance, public policy, and social welfare.

Center for Technology and Information Policy
The Center is affiliated with Syracuse University's L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science and specializes in evaluation of technology and R&D policy; computer-based technology for analysis forecasting, assessment, and technology transfer; and the role of technical information and computers in policy making and public management.

Environmental Finance Center
The Center is one of six such centers partially funded by the U.S. EPA with initiatives in enhancing the financial and managerial capacity of state and local officials, promoting full cost water and wastewater rate-setting, and facilitating the development of environmental governance models and environmental service management options such as privatization.

Program on the Analysis and Resolution of Conflicts (PARC)
PARC is an interdisciplinary center dedicated to enhancing knowledge about social conflicts— their nature, course of development, and possible resolution— through theory building and research, education, and practice.
