The Center on International Cooperation (CIC) is a foreign policy think tank based at New York University that works to enhance multilateral responses to global problems, including: conflict, humanitarian crises, and recovery; international security challenges, including weapons proliferation and the changing balance of power; and resource scarcity and climate change. Through innovative applied research and direct engagement with policy actors, CIC has been at the forefront of policy decision-making in each of its core areas of research.〔(Center on International Cooperation, About Us )〕 == History and Staff == CIC was established in 1996 by Dr. Shepard Forman, former Director of the Ford Foundation's Human Rights, Governance and Public Policy, and International Affairs programs. Forman received his Ph.D.in Anthropology, did post-doctoral work in development economics at the Institute for Development Studies at Sussex, England, field research in Northeast Brazil and Timor-Leste, and taught at Indiana University, the University of Michigan and the University of Chicago. He authored two books on Brazil and edited six others on multilateral themes and a number of policy papers including recommendations that served as forerunners to the UN Peacebuilding Commission. In 2005, Dr. Bruce D. Jones became CIC's Director. Jones has held a range of positions at the United Nations, and works regularly with the Brookings Institution and the World Bank. Most recently, Jones served as Senior External Advisor to the World Bank’s (2011 World Development Report ) on Conflict, Security, and Development, and in March 2010 was appointed by the United Nations Secretary-General as a member of the Senior Advisory Group to guide the Review of International Civilian Capacities. Other notable fellows include Dr. Barnett Rubin, Jean Arnault, and Jean-Marie Guéhenno. Under Jones, and with Richard Gowan and Jake Sherman, CIC's (''Annual Review of Global Peace Operations'' ) and (''Review of Political Missions'' ) have become seminal works on global peace operations. With Rahul Chandran and other CIC staff, Jones has also produced policy reports that have substantially informed the design of a number of national and multilateral programs and initiatives, including the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations project, ''New Horizons for Peacekeeping''; the OECD and UK Department for International Development's work on state fragility and resilience; the OECD's (workstream on financing ); and the United Nations (Review of International Civilian Capacities ) initiative, among others. (CIC staff ) have enjoyed great influence, both through secondments and research support, in a number of high-profile United Nations and multilateral initiatives. The first of these, the 2004 UN High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change, strongly featured CIC staff recommendations on peacebuilding, development, and organized crime, all of which have come to be prominently placed in the (UN's reform agenda ). CIC also helped draft the IAEA's report on (WMD terrorism ) in April 2010, drawing from previous research support to the (IAEA Special Event on the Nuclear Fuel Cycle ). Most recently, CIC was asked to provide policy and research support to the (Secretary-General's High-level Panel on Global Sustainability ), with the Panel's findings expected to be released by the end of 2011.〔(UN Secretary-General's High-level Panel on Global Sustainability )〕 In 2015, Sarah Cliffe, a former senior officer at the World Bank and the United Nations became CIC's third Director. (CIC staff ) regularly collaborate with a number of international and domestic institutions, such as the Brookings Institution, the European Council on Foreign Relations, the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD), the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA), the Stanford University Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC), and (Humanitarian Outcomes ). CIC maintains strong links to the current U.S. Administration, strengthened through CIC's institutional and programmatic foci on issues of interest to the U.S. Government and to capitals around the world. The Center receives and has received financial support and funding from a number of institutions such as The Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Open Society Foundations, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, the United States Institute of Peace, the World Bank, the Brookings Institution, the Compton Foundation, and the Asia-Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Center on International Cooperation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
