In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, many leaders are looking to peacemaking and conflict resolution as the most effective ways to deal with the violence and hatred that threaten global security.
George Mason University’s Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (ICAR) is committed to interrupting these cycles of violence through rigorous academic programs and innovative work in the field.
For 25 years, our faculty, students and alumni have addressed deep-rooted conflicts wherever they occur – in metropolitan Washington, D.C., across the United States, and on the international stage. We have been leaders in the field since our founding: ICAR was one of the first groundbreaking “Theory Centers” funded by the Hewlett Foundation. We created the world’s first Master of Science and doctorate in conflict resolution, and we recently expanded our programs to serve undergraduate students and mid-career professionals.
