Center for Conflict Management

CCM works to reduce social and ethnic conflict in Kazakstan and to promote transition to a free market economy and democratic civil society. It conducts research and organizes seminars on conflict prevention and management. Among the Center's recent initiatives are:

• Joint Kazak-American Peacebuilding Workshop for school teachers and university professors in Almaty, September 1995;
• Lectures on conflict resolution theory at the Kazakstan State University and the Institute for Advanced Humanitarian Studies, 1995/96 and 1996/97 academic years;
• Organization of debate training for students at Kazakstan State Univeristy (in cooperation with the Soros Foundation), April 1997;
• Publication of a human rights textbook in Kazak for school children, containing the full text of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, August 1997.

A print version of much of the information contained in this Central Asian Third Sector Organizations section can be found in Civil Society in Central Asia (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1999).
