International Security Institutions > Managing Global Insecurity

MGIThe Brookings Institution, Stanford University and the Center on International Cooperation are jointly undertaking a two-year project on Managing Global Insecurity: American leadership, international institutions, and the search for peace in the 21st Century. The project's aim is to build international understanding and political momentum around a set of policies to advance a strong agenda for reform of multilateral security institutions, and specifically address why it is in the U.S. national interest to do so. The first phase of the project entails an analysis of the performance of international security institutions in managing the challenges posed by nuclear proliferation, mass casualty terrorism, regional wars, civil wars and disease. The next phase of the project will entail the formulation of specific proposals for multilateral and national policy and institutional changes. The project team, with the support of members of the U.S. and International Advisory Groups, will then engage in an intensive effort to disseminate project results.
