Conflict Research Datasets CIDCM hosts several major datasets that are critical to the comparative analysis of conflict. CIDCM projects provide data on such topics as the position of minority populations in states, the status of democratic institutions, and the dynamics of international crises. CIDCM is engaged in policy studies that seek to understand the role of international economic conditions both as a cause of conflict and as means of peace. Towards this goal, the Center has become a leader in the study of the potential of new information and communications technologies as tools to transform conflictual situations. Conflict Resolution Training CIDCM offers training and workshops for practitioners from governmental organizations, NGOs, and grassroots communities in techniques of conflict management, including training sessions on general negotiation strategies and tactics and workshops on how "Track II" negotiations can be most effective as a means of resolving conflicts. Anwar Sadat Chair for Peace and Development Under the leadership of Sadat Professor Shibley Telhami , the program works to further dialogues for peace in the Middle East and throughout the world, and to bridge the gap between the academic and policy worlds, bringing the Washington policy community in closer touch with the latest research findings in conflict management. | |
