A central mission of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) is the promotion of international conflict resolution education by assisting and supporting colleges and universities in their efforts at developing and offering programs, courses, and activities that focus on international peace, conflict, and security. Over the years, a number of institutions have posed the question: where should we start? While this is a difficult question to answer without understanding the particular context of each institution, USIP has found that looking across institutions that have established such programs, certain patterns emerge. Some institutions choose to focus on peace studies programs with an activist component, some select a security studies focus that emphasizes policymaking, and some develop conflict resolution programs that concentrate on skill building. Increasingly, institutions select items from each of these options to develop unique programs that reflect the existing interests and capacities of the teaching faculty and the aspirations and vision of the college or university. In order to help faculty and administrators think through what kinds of courses or program they might establish, the Institute's Education Program has developed this guide. It is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the content of courses and programs, and the choices that different institutions have made in creating curricula and programming in the area of peace, conflict, and security. The second part suggests strategies that can be used in developing or promoting programs that focus on international peace, conflict, and security. (Contains 9 tables.)
