Project Title

For core support of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs

Date

Duration

24 months

Description

A lack of dialogue and understanding is an enduring problem in many regions of the world, especially where diplomatic efforts have fallen short. This problem has become particularly acute in parts of the Middle East and South Asia as people’s fates have become deeply entwined with the actions of national leaders, violent non-governmental actors, and outside parties. Today’s urgent and interrelated global challenges call for greater engagement across dividing lines, increased appreciation for differing threat perceptions, and, above all, efforts to find non-violent solutions to conflicts where nuclear risks are present. With a proven track record and international credibility, the Pugwash Conferences on World Affairs (Pugwash) has been one of the leading organizations filling this important gap in the Middle East and South Asia through) long-standing intraregional and multinational Track II dialogues.

Duration

Description

The years ahead in the Greater Middle East”—the broad stretch of countries ranging from Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan to the Gulf States and those in North Africa—
will continue to be critical. The fate of the people in the region will be deeply affected not only by their own leaders’ decisions but also by the reactions of outside parties to the various conflicts. These urgent and interrelated problems call out for greater dialogue across dividing lines, increased understanding of differing threat perceptions, and, above all, the need to avoid military conflict in this area where nuclear risks are present. The Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs (Pugwash) seeks to help address these complicated and interrelated challenges through continuation of its longstanding intraregional, multinational Track II workshops.
