| Summary/Abstract |
The future of foreign policy think tanks should involve acting as a training ground for the next generation of international affairs professionals. Internships are widely recognized as a way of improving young people’s skills and employment prospects. A case study of the Australian Institute of International Affairs’ (AIIA’s) internship program shows how foreign policy institutes can form a bridge between the academic grounding that universities provide and the rigours and requirements of a career in international affairs. Survey results from more than 100 interns showed an overwhelmingly positive reaction to their internship experience, with over 98 percent recommending the program. A range of learning outcomes and career benefits were reported. Foreign policy institutes wishing to contribute to career development should consider introducing internship programs that include goal setting, high-quality supervision, expert training, and career advice. They can help build the future of the field one internship at a time.

| Summary/Abstract |
Unlike in the broader field of international relations, relatively little research on gender representation and gendered experiences exists within the subfield of security studies. This article begins to fill that gap by sharing the results of a 2019 survey of members of the International Security Studies Section (ISSS) of the International Studies Association (ISA). The survey results show striking gender differences in members’ experiences, with women more likely than men to describe ISSS as “insular,” “clubby,” and an “Old Boys’ Network”; more likely to report experiences of hostility and exclusion; and more likely to believe that diversity initiatives are needed. Our analysis reveals that women in the ISSS report (1) harassment, (2) negative experiences participating in various section activities, (3) more significant barriers to attending and being selected for the section's ISA program, and (4) a sense of feeling unwelcome at ISSS meetings, all at higher rates than male respondents.

| Summary/Abstract |
One factor that has led to profound changes in the evolution of intelligence is the removal of many physical and ideological barriers that previously prevented communication and interaction, as existed in the Cold War era. In this ideological post-war period, in which most societies are no longer militarily threatened but rather politically, economically, culturally, and perhaps religiously, undermined, intelligence services are facing new challenges, being called upon to contribute to the reduction or removal of a series of threats and negative effects.

| Summary/Abstract |
Schools, as public institutions cope with the challenge of immigrant absorption. Lipsky’s theory of street-level bureaucrats argues that civil servants at the end of the hierarchy are the most significant in implementing policy. This article examined the conditions that lead teachers to become street-level bureaucrats and cultural mediators, and how they influence student immigration policy. The qualitative study included interviews with 25 teachers of immigrants and found four conditions under which teachers positively influence policy on the ground. As they play significant roles in immigrants’ lives, investment in appropriate training for teachers of immigrants is recommended.
