International Security | Conflict Resolution


Thousands of Americans and many citizens of other nations are now involved in U.S.-based programs in the fields of conflict prevention, resolution and management. Their work ranges from theory development and education to training and active participation in mediation and negotiation. They deal with all levels and types of conflicts -- from interpersonal to international -- in a variety of activities initiated by universities, commercial enterprises, private foundations and institutions, governmental agencies, research centers, charitable organizations, and religious and other groups. Here is a sampling of some of those efforts:
