Institutions for Fragile States
The main program of the Mamdouha S. Bobst Center for Peace and Justice responds to faculty interest in post-conflict reconstruction and state building. Princeton receives many requests for help in defining options and best practices for building institutions and fostering peace in fragile states. In 2005 the Bobst Center joined in a "Reconstruction Partnership" with the Woodrow Wilson School, the National Academy of Public Administration and other organizations to develop and project knowledge important to civic leaders and other practitioners on the ground. The consortium's Institutions for Fragile States initiative will expand in 2007-8. To learn more, go to the program's website.
