Center for Peace, Democracy, and Development

at the University of Massachusetts Boston

Peacebuilding CPDD's approach to its peacebuilding projects is simple; communities in conflict – divided along ethnic, racial, religious, national, or ideological lines – are best helped by other divided societies that have undergone conflict and have found their way to peaceful settlement of their differences.
Democratic Development CPDD believes in the intrinsic relationship between the development of democratic institutions and the development of sound economies.
Rule of Law CPDD conducts innovative programs, which strive to assist judges and other legal professionals in transitional regions throughout the world to become more independent, more confident, and more committed to the rule of law.
Education CPDD believes that strong education institutions are necessary to the forwarding of developing countries’ infrastructure.
