Académie Diplomatique Internationale
Summary
The Académie Diplomatique Internationale (ADI; english International Diplomatic Academy) was an international organization based in Paris, France, focused on modern diplomacy and international affairs. Founded in 1926, the ADI was, along with Chatham House in London and the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, one of the first policy institutions devoted to the sustained study and analysis of international relations. Early members included Aristide Briand, Nicolae Titulescu, Gustav Stresemann, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Under the Presidency of His Highness the Aga Khan IV, who was elected in 2000, the ADI has focused its efforts on diplomatic training and emerging dynamics in international relations and modern diplomacy.
The Académie Diplomatique Internationale is an institution dedicated to advancing the practice of modern diplomacy and contributing to the understanding and analysis of the emerging dynamics in international affairs. In recognition of the impact of globalization, the ADI today engages not only the traditional diplomatic and foreign policy communities, but also new actors such as multi-lateral institutions, corporations, advocacy groups, and others involved in shaping regional and international dynamics. In exercising its mission, the ADI draws upon its decades-long engagement in international relations - and upon an unparalleled network of global contacts - to match expertise and capacities among professionals from the public, private and independent sectors. “We have no connection with any Government and we have no desire to impose our will on anyone,” the first ADI president observed. “But from unofficial and independent research of this character much help will be given to the cause of peace.” These are the ADI's founding values and remain its enduring ambitions.
Since the year 2000, when His Highness the Aga Khan was elected president, the ADI has undertaken a major renovation of its historic residence and a strategic realignment of its mission and programmatic activities with a focus on modern diplomacy.
