Russian Visit 2004by Anja Kuznetsova Report dated April 2004 From 12-19 April 2004, the Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland (CISSM) in the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland hosted a group of faculty and students from Moscow’s Institute of U.S. and Canadian Studies (ISKRAN). ISKRAN is part of the Russian Academy of Sciences and home to the School of World Politics and International Security. Under grants from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Nuclear Threat Initiative, CISSM and ISKRAN have partnered for the Collaborative Education and Cooperative Security Project. This project is bringing together American and Russian security experts to develop a joint curriculum and interactive teaching techniques that are being used to educate the new generation about the dangers posed by prevailing patterns of nuclear weapons deployment and the increased mutual security that could be achieved by shifting from deterrence to reassurance as the organizing principle for operational policies. |
