Europe, the United States, and the Middle East: New Avenues for Cooperation?
A public event co-sponsored with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Bertelsmann Foundation
As a national, nonpartisan, independent Institute, the U.S. Institute of Peace draws on our exceptional convening power to create opportunities for diverse audiences to exchange knowledge, experiences, and ideas necessary for creative solutions to difficult challenges. We serve as an important, neutral platform for bringing together government and nongovernment, diplomacy, security, and development actors, and participants across political views. The Institute’s events help shape public policy and priorities to advance peaceful solutions to conflict and strengthen international security.

Book discussion co-sponsored with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars
The U.S. government and the U.N. have moved ahead with formalizing their work on Security Sector Reform (SSR). They have also begun to concentrate on the challenges of assessments and planning in SSR operations. At the same time, it is becoming clear that commercial security firms will be asked to play an important role. A panel of experts discussed these topics from their various perspectives in this meeting of the SSR Working Group.
