ISPIs

ISPIs is an acronym that can refer to multiple unrelated entities or concepts, and there is no single universal meaning. In policy and international affairs discourse, ISPIs most commonly denote institutes that study international relations, security, economics, and diplomacy. The best-known example is the Italian Institute for International Political Studies, based in Milan, whose research is published and who hosts events; when written in the plural, ISPIs can refer to a network of similarly named institutions in different countries.

In other contexts, ISPIs may appear as abbreviations for organization-specific terms, research programs, or indicators, with expansions that vary by source. Because the acronym is not standardized, its intended meaning must be inferred from surrounding text such as the field, country, or the full-form introduction used by the author.

Disambiguation approach: look for cues like the language of publication, mention of international relations or security topics, or explicit expansion of the acronym. If necessary, consult a disambiguation page or the institution’s official website to confirm which ISPI the text refers to.
