The EastWest Institute (EWI), originally known as the Institute for East-West Security Studies, is an international not-for-profit, non-partisan "think and do" tank focusing on international conflict resolution through a variety of means, including track 2 diplomacy and track 1.5 diplomacy (conducted with the direct involvement of official actors), hosting international conferences, and authoring publications on international security issues. The organization employs networks in political, military, and business establishments in the United States, Europe, and the Soviet Union.
EWI has initiatives focused on a number of different areas including cybersecurity,preventive diplomacy, strategic trust-building (which encompasses Russia-United States relations and China-United States Relations), Economic Security, and Regional Security (focusing on specific areas such as Southwest Asia).
In addition to its New York City Headquarters, EWI has offices in Brussels,Belgium, and Moscow, Russia.
The Institute for East-West Security Studies was founded in 1980, when then CEO John Edwin Mroz and Ira D. Wallach set out to study means of addressing areas of political dispute across the Iron Curtain.
In 1984, EWI hosted the first track 2 military-to-military discussions between the NATO and Warsaw Pact countries.These talks, focusing heavily on the establishment of confidence-building measures (CBMs) between the two parties, ultimately resulted in an agreement requiring each side to alert the other of troop movements.
