From the Foreword (Scope of this Directory):

As a service to the academic community and to Government agencies sponsoring research, the Office of External Research of the Department of State has published several directories of centers engaged in international studies. (…) The focus of this volume is on U.S. university affiliated centers which have as their main purpose social science research in foreign affairs. It includes only those university research programs and projects which are organized into easily identified centers or institutes. It includes both area-oriented research centers and those specializing in a functional field. It does not, however, include centers at which a principal emphasis is on teaching at the undergraduate level.
