IGCC Annual Report (2000)
At the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC), our mission is to use rigorous research, training, and engagement with decisionmakers to improve policies and practices in ways that help reduce conflict and improve global cooperation. This annual report offers an overview of our history, leadership, programs, and more.
DownloadIGCC entered the new millennium unveiling a new student-designed logo, as well as a strategy to engage in an era that director Peter F. Cowhey called one of “institutional renovation.” As ever, IGCC’s mission would be to act as a bridge between the theorists seeking to understand this new world and the practitioners who would deal with the implications with the profound changes occurring. In this vein, IGCC research examined how to govern the digital economy while also preparing for new threats like cyberattacks and climate change.
IGCC’s programmatic work continued to forge connections across borders and cultures, whether economic ties between Turkey and the South Caucasus in IGCC’s Silk Road Survey, multilateral arms control measures between the nations of the Middle East, and, of course, November’s meeting of the tenth Northeast Asian Cooperation, which took place in Seoul amid a disputed U.S. presidential election.
