Center for Peace and Security Studies

Supports and monitors funded research, graduate training, and campus outreach at UCSD in the subject of peace and international security.

The objective of Center for Peace and Security Studies (cPASS) is to serve as a bridge to unite the efforts of existing peace scholarship at UCSD and to develop new, externally funded research that applies cutting-edge social science to improve their collective understanding of how humans can best cooperate on an increasingly congested planet. The core of this effort will be in the Division of Social Sciences (DSS), but cPASS also welcomes broader collaborations. cPASS combines the efforts of peace and conflict researchers from different specialties, departments and institutions.
