Funded primarily by a grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the program unites researchers, educators, and practitioners from many fields for the purposes of conflict resolution theory-building, testing, and application. The theory-building efforts are designed to lead to an improved understanding of conflict dynamics along with better methods for resolving conflicts and reaching good decisions. Their archive houses Newsletters, Working Papers, Brochures, and Program Information. The Consortium's Information Exchange on Peace Research and Conflict Resolution is now available. The Exchange consists of thirteen files, contributed by more than twenty research centers world-wide, and containing approximately 55,000 bibliographic citations.
Many entries contain search codes and some contain abstracts or annotations.
