  • Stop Our States (SOS) - Although terrorism and civil war receive the most attention nowadays, the largest threat to human life still emerges from governments.  Mass killing, execution, torture, disappearances, beatings, harassment, imprisonment and domestic spying undertaken by political authorities still impacts more individuals than anything done by other socio-political actors - taking lives as well as political freedom.  The work associated with this project - academic, activist and advisory - explores different resolutions to the problem.
  • The Center for the Study of Post-Communist Societies (CSPCS) - established in 1990. The CSPCS' mission is to develop and foster collaborative interdisciplinary research and public policy activities between American and East Central European educational institutions. The Center's aim is to advance and cultivate cooperation between scholars and policy makers working on issues of consolidation of democracy, market oriented economic transition, institutional development in post-communist countries, political culture, and the emergence of nationalism in the region of East Central Europe.
  • Law and Politics Book Review - The Law and Politics Book Review is sponsored by the Law and Courts Section of the American Political Science Association. The Section has a membership of almost 900 and presently the Review has a subscriber list of more than 1,300 readers in 39 countries. The current editor is Wayne McIntosh in GVPT.
  • The Radical Information Project - This research project is dedicated to providing information about conflict and human rights from sources that are widely "censored" or "neglected". The information contained here represents the outcome of numerous data collection efforts undertaken by those who are interested in understanding what takes place outside of the mainstream. Most of the information concerns groups that are largely neglected within other collections of contentious political behavior (e.g., African-Americans, Africans, Native-Americans, Women, Ethnic Minorities). There are sources for groups that do not fall into these categories (e.g., extreme/radical organizations, European protest and repressive activity). Search, study and enjoy.
  • Office of International Affairs - includes four OIA publications related to international life at the university: College Park International newsletter, International Visitor Guide, College Park International Directory, and Diretory of Faculty, Administrators & Staff withInternational Interests. We also have a link to International Education Services (IES).
  • School of Public Affairs - describes programs in Philosophy, Public Policy, and Politics
  • International Education Services (IES) - maintains certain international functions at the university. IES oversees international student admissions, foreign student advising, study abroad, foreign faculty appointments, and coordinates Dorchester International House dormitory.
  • Center for International Development and Conflict Management - The Center for International Development and Conflict Management (CIDCM) provides a home base for a close-knit community of scholars who are deeply and consistently engaged in some of the most compelling issues in the world today - the incidence of war and conflict, the search for ethical meaning in a mosaic world, and the definition of development.
  • The Harrison Program on the Future Global Agenda - The Harrison Program examines significant issues in an effort to understand the nature and interaction of environmental, technological, social, and political systems, and to suggest potential means of breaking out of destructive patterns of behavior.
  • Undergraduate Certificate Program in Science, Technology and Society (STS)
  • The Anwar Sadat Chair for Peace and Development - The Anwar Sadat Chair for Peace and Development (initially known as the Anwar Sadat Chair for Population, Development and Peace) was established at the University of Maryland, College Park in the fall of 1997 in memory of the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. The Chair is housed in the Center for International Development and Conflict Management (CIDCM) and makes its academic home in the Department of Government and Politics.
  • College Park Scholars: International Studies - One of twelve College Park Scholars living-learning programs, the International Studies Program brings together undergraduate students from a variety of disciplines who share an interest in global issues, politics, and events. Our program offers an opportunity to build global understanding and global awareness through academic and experiential learning.
