The Center for Applied Peace Strategies (APS) at George Mason University fosters global peace and stability through innovations in research, practice, and policy. APS operates on the principle that sustainable peace emerges from community-driven solutions that offer both financial and humanitarian benefits.
//
Peace strategies should serve real human needs. APS initiatives are driven by real-world challenges rather than trendy solutions in search of a problem.
