Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation
The University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC) facilitates innovative, rigorous research into the causes of international conflict and cooperation. Founded in 1983 as a research unit serving the entire UC system, and peacemakers through its research and teaching activities. The institute is one of the largest sources of dissertation and fellowship support on international studies in the United States. IGCC supports individual faculty and graduate student research throughout the UC system as well as international affairs programs on each UC campus.

Why Study War?
Warfare has
been and remains one of the major pre-occupations of mankind. Although
the threat of major war amongst the leading industrial states has
receded, a brief look at current affairs reminds us daily of the
continuing risks of war around the world. Wars challenge all
aspects of the societies in which they occur and the study of war,
therefore, deserves academic study like any other subject in order to
gain a greater understanding of a variety of complex questions:
Why do wars occur?
How might wars be prevented, avoided or resolved?
How has the character (more)...

Master of Laws of Global Health Law
Health laws and policies are increasingly transnational in the modern era. Trade, commerce, travel, environment, war, and terrorism transcend boundaries and profoundly impact individual and communal health. Protecting the public’s health and improving individual health outcomes increasingly involve national and international innovation and collaboration through legal systems. A comprehensive approach to global health law involves multiple, interrelated fields including health, trade, economics, intellectual property, human rights, ethics, and national security.

Project on Nuclear Issues
Perhaps the most critical challenge in sustaining the US nuclear
deterrent after the end of the Cold War is maintaining the human
infrastructure necessary to support US nuclear capabilities. This is
especially true as the human infrastructure necessary to support a
nuclear stockpile at the envisioned level of 1700-2200 operational
warheads is not appreciably smaller than that necessary to support one
at current levels. The challenge is therefore to maintain a smaller,
but still vibrant, community of nuclear experts.
In 2003, the Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI) was created to address this challenge.
The goals of the project are twofold. First, PONI (more)...
