USIP Centers
USIP organizes its work in accordance with the three phases of conflict: prevention, mediation and resolution, and post-conflict stabilization. The Institute is made up of three centers, with a fourth set of centers whose issues cross each phase of conflict.
USIP identifies and applies best practices in seven topical areas whose issues cross each phase of conflict through this series of Centers. |
