advised by an executive committee consisting of faculty members representing
the different disciplines that provide input to the study of international security
and conflict resolution.
The Institute promotes teaching and research by organizing public forums, faculty
and student seminars, developing appropriate curricula for undergraduate and
graduate instruction and facilitating research and scholarly activities. SDSU
