Overview

The Stanford Center on International Conflict and Negotiation is an interdisciplinary center for the study of international and intergroup conflict and negotiation. Our primary foci are:

• The identification and analysis of the barriers—strategic, psychological, legal, and structural—to management or resolution of conflict.
• The development of strategies to overcome these barriers.

A joint project of the Stanford Law School and the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, SCICN explores the intersection of international law, international relations, and social psychology in the context of international and intranational conflict. In addition to our traditional concern for research and theory-building, we have a strong and growing interest in real world conflict, particularly with regard to bridging the gap between theory and practice.

Drawing together graduate students and scholars from schools and departments across the university, SCICN offers a rich environment for interdisciplinary dialogue and exploration. Our seminars and colloquia are open to the wider Stanford community and the general public.

SCICN is not a degree-conferring center and, as a result, cannot admit applicants as students to Stanford University.
