Seminar on International Conflict Management
 Curtis Morris |
The U.S. Institute of Peace gave a seminar on international conflict management at the Inter-American Defense College (IADC) on June 3–5. IADC is a postgraduate institution operated under the aegis of the Organization of American States. Many IADC graduates assume leadership positions in their respective countries. Some serve in international jobs such as peacekeeping. Traditionally, about a third of IADC graduates become generals or flag-rank military officers; a number of the civilians become ambassadors or cabinet-level officials within several years of graduating.
 Workshop participants |
Assisted by fellow Training Program officers Anne Henderson and Gregory Noone, Curtis Morris led the workshop, which focused on diplomacy skills such as communication, negotiation, and mediation. Workshop participants included IADC's class of 2002 (58 senior civilian and military officials from Canada, the United States, and 18 other countries in the Americas) as well as 20 invited senior officials from Central America and the Caribbean.
