Perhaps this Commission can envision, however dimly, such a precious legacy for future generations. This syllabus grows out of the work of the Carnegie Commission on Preventing Deadly Conflict and outlines a course that focuses on conflict prevention . Participants explored the nature and dynamics of contemporary conflicts and their implications for international security. The Institute also explored the various instruments for the prevention and resolution of these conflicts.
Participants discuss themes raised in a presentation.
Kevin Clements, secretary general of International Alert, looks over some of the Commission publications. Video tapes of the speakers' presentations are available free of charge. The Carnegie Commission, in conjunction with the Hopewell Valley Central High School Social Studies Department, has developed a unit on preventing deadly conflict that will educate students about the causes, essential elements of and solutions to the problem of deadly conflict.
