Established in 1970, the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF), or Hessische Stiftung Friedens und Konfliktforschung (HSFK) was founded by the state of Hesse. With approximately 70 employees (as of 2011), the PRIF is Germany’s largest and oldest peace research institute.〔(Peace Research Institute Frankfurt - PRIF / HSFK (Hessische Stiftung Friedens und Konfliktforschung) ). EU Non-Proliferation Consortium. Last accessed 26 Dec 2011.〕 The PRIF does not carry out any commissioned research. '' The PRIF investigates the causes of international crisis and conflict, pursues research on peace and conflict studies and disarmament policy. The PRIF places a regional focus on the Balkans, the Middle East and Asia, while researching the necessary conditions to increase justice and decrease violence (i.e. establish peace).〔(PRIF ). PRIF.

International Relations and Security Network Last accessed 26 Dec 2011.〕 It places special emphasis in its research work on arms control, non-proliferation and disarmament. From 1987 to 2002, the PRIF trained many young academics in countries having no non-proliferation expertise, organizing a network of European non-proliferation researchers. PRIF researchers have long-standing experience in political advice and consulting, having served, inter alia, in German delegations to NPT, CTBT, CWC, BWC, Ottawa Convention and SALW gatherings, in the UN Conference on Disarmament and in IAEA Expert Groups.〔 == Organization == The Executive Director of the PRIF is Harald Müller. Other members of the Executive Board are Klaus Dieter Wolf, Christopher Daase, Matthias Dembinski, Claudia Baumgart-Ochse, and Hans-Joachim Spanger. The Research Council is a body that includes all PRIF scholars. It makes decisions on the research program and on the projects of the individual research departments. The Board of Trustees, consisting of Hesse’s Prime Minister, the Minister for Science and the Arts, and the Finance Minister of Hesse, three public figures and three elected representatives from within the institute, supervises the management of the institution and approves its budget. The Advisory Board supports the PRIF on the design and implementation of the institute's research programs. Four-year terms are by appointment of the Board of Trustees which is made up of eight scholars from Germany and abroad. The Advisory Board chairman is currently Thilo Marauhn. At the end of 2004 the PRIF was evaluated by a commission of the German Council of Science and Humanities and recommended for acceptance into the Leibniz Association. On January 1, 2009 the PRIF became a member institute in this scientific organization. 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「Peace Research Institute Frankfurt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
