A discussion about global security among researchers...
A discussion about global security among researchers from China, the Soviet Union and the United States will begin at UC San Diego following award of a $235,803 grant from the Ford Foundation.
The University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation, headquartered at UCSD, will administer the grant, which will involve up to 10 specialists from each country in a series of three annual meetings. The first conference will be held in Beijing in October, followed by successive meetings in Moscow and San Diego.
The goal is to come up with a framework for the three governments to consider using for mutual security and arms-control negotiations. It is modeled on a smaller-scale meeting that the institute held among scholars last June at UCSD.
