Date

Duration
8 months
Description
The complexity, lack of information and data available, and tangled web of contradictory interests creates a blurred picture of international conflicts. At the International Peace and Security Institute (IPSI), they call it a kaleidoscopic view. Through their Kaleidoscopic Conflict Project they are examining the complexity of current conflicts and U.S. foreign policy interests in those conflicts. Through a series of consultative dialogues, IPSI aims to identify specific reforms and investment recommendations that can be made to the 115th Congress, as well as United States government agencies such as the U.S. State Department and USAID. Recommendations are aimed at strengthening responses to conflict with approaches that are more effective at managing and mitigating violent conflict. The Corporation’s contribution will allow the project to conduct dialogues outside of Washington, D.C. with academics, research institutions, and community-based organizations involved in conflict resolution.
