Coping With Crisis
CWC Working Paper Series
In this series of Working Papers, IPI has asked leading experts to undertake a mapping exercise, presenting an assessment of critical challenges to human and international security. A first group of papers provides a horizontal perspective, examining the intersection of multiple challenges in specific regions of the world. A second group takes a vertical approach, providing in-depth analysis of global challenges relating to organized violence, poverty, population trends, public health, and climate change, among other topics.
The Working Papers have three main objectives:
1) to advance the understanding of these critical challenges and their interlinkages;
2) to assess capacities to cope with these challenges and to draw scenarios for plausible future developments; and
3) to offer a baseline for longer-term research and policy development.
