The Center for Peace Diplomacy is an independent, non-partisan organization dedicated to ending and preventing wars.
We conduct and support peace negotiations in conflict zones.
HOW WE WORKImpartiality
CPD is a mission focused organization. The effectiveness of our work depends upon our impartiality.
We are independent and non-partisan in our work, research, and recommendations.
HOW WE WORKStrategy for Peacemakers
CPD is a strategic problem solving organization. We help mediators and peace negotiators identify pathways to peaceful settlement. We work as a partner for peace negotiators and mediators seeking to:
Strengthen their peacemaking strategies;
Develop their assessments of the options and tools available.
HOW WE WORKResearch and Informal Dialogue
CPD pursues its mission through two methods:
Bespoke research, through our team and international expert network;
Convening informal dialogue between warring parties.
HOW WE WORKPeace Negotiations and Geopolitics
CPD’s key area of expertise is the nexus between geopolitics and conflict within states. Work that integrates these dimensions is an area of competence that is underdeveloped in the practitioner community. CPD exists to fill this gap.
CPD operates in both dimensions simultaneously, drawing on our expertise and extensive experience of intrastate and geopolitical negotiations.
We believe this coordinated, multilevel approach is where the most effective levers for peacemaking are to be found.
