The Institute for Advanced Strategic & Political Studies (IASPS) is a think tank. Its focus is the Redirection of Western societies by Science (Certainty) – the OpenSociety-History (Uncertainty). This is the so-called visible Reciprocal. It refers to the mechanical action of Certainty as effecting political and social order as one of two possible orders in the Redirection, these being “totalitarianism” in its active and passive phases, viz., the Open Society or Democracy toward a World State, and the World State itself. This conception and affiliated terminology reflects the research of R. J. Loewenberg. See the Site for information about it, in particular about A Preliminary. This is the teaching’s main document, and will be released for publication this year. The new, present site, is mostly about this document and its conspectus. It continues, greatly extending and pressing the points of a prior Institute publication. It is entitled “An Introduction to the Peace Process: Part 1”. It is available on this Site.

What is the action of this policy basis in the Redirection? In particular it is the projects of SANE. SANE (Society of Americans for National Existence) is part and parcel of the Institute’s extended consideration of the policy undertaking. SANE was founded by David Yerushalmi in 2006. Information about these projects, some of which are discussed at IASPS, can be found at http://www.saneworks.us.

IASPS-Jerusalem was founded in 1983 by its president, Professor Robert J. Loewenberg. Loewenberg founded IASPS. Loewenberg took his Ph.D from Yale University in 1972 after several years of teaching at Hotchkiss Prep School in Lakeville, Connecticut. Prior to that, he attended Columbia University (BA 1962), which he attended after three years in the U.S. Navy. His published books and monographs include The Peace Process: An Introductory Essay (part 1); The Israeli Fate of Jewish Liberalism (with Edward Alexander); Emerson, An American Idol; Freedom's Despots; and Equality on the Oregon Frontier. He has edited other books and contributed to collections on a wide range of subjects including SDI, foreign aid and economic policy, and has also published numerous articles in scholarly journals as well as opeds in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Times, Insight Magazine, The Los Angeles Times and elsewhere. He oversees all IASPS activities.
