通往华盛顿的道路是由精英教育铺就的。实际上，那些希望在国务院、宾夕法尼亚大道和外交机构里就职的年轻人，达成目标的主要方式，通常是在美国顶级大学中获得国际关系学位。在这个问题上存在着一些争论，这条唯一的道路怎样才能确保政府内部的多样化结构。但是，学者和政策制定者不约而同地认为，语言技能、对世界各个角落的了解，以及课堂里收获的知识必然会成就一个成功的外交政策书呆子。那么，哪所学校的质量最高呢？

《外交政策》与威廉玛丽学院的“教学、科研和国际政策”项目合作所进行的2014年象牙塔调查结果，提供了一些有趣的见解。从1375所美国高校中筛选出来的1615名国际关系学者推荐出美国国际关系博士、硕士和学士学位的高校排名。（每名学者被要求列举出每个分类中排名前5位的学校。）调查还向受访者询问了一些近代史和未来挑战的问题，比如美国与中国开战的可能性，以及谁是近50年来最优秀的国务卿。（提示：不是康多莉扎•赖斯，也不是约翰•克里。）

总体来看，象牙塔调查让我们了解到，美国顶级的国际关系学者是如何看待今天的世界的，以及哪些学府最成功地培养出未来一代的思想家和政策制定者。

原文：

The road to Washington is paved with elite educations. Indeed, for young people hoping to secure jobs in Foggy Bottom, on Pennsylvania Avenue, and elsewhere in the foreign-policy establishment, a key ingredient to success is often a diploma in international relations (IR) from one of America’s top universities. There are debates to be had about this model—how the pipeline can become more affordable, for instance, to ensure greater diversity among government hires. Scholars and policymakers alike rightly agree, however, that language skills, expertise about regions of the world, and other knowledge gleaned in the classroom make for a stronger, more effective corps of foreign-policy wonks. So which schools prepare students best?

The results of the 2014 Ivory Tower survey—a collaboration between FOREIGN POLICY and the Teaching, Research, and International Policy (TRIP) project at the College of William & Mary—provide an insider’s guide. Responses from 1,615 IR scholars drawn from 1,375 U.S. colleges and universities determined rankings for the leading Ph.D., terminal master’s, and undergraduate programs in IR. (The scholars were asked to list the top five institutions in each category.) The survey also quizzed respondents about recent historical events and future policy challenges: Just how plausible is a U.S. war with China, for example, and who was the most effective secretary of state over the past 50 years? (Hint: Neither Condoleezza Rice nor John Kerry.)

All told, the Ivory Tower survey offers a window into how America’s top IR scholars see the world today—and which institutions are effectively nurturing future generations of thinkers and policymakers.
