The end of the Cold War brought a period of great optimism about the future of societies around the world. Reduced tensions between the superpowers promised a period of peace, and the accompanying improved trade relations promised greater economic prosperity. But more recent events have shattered much of that optimism—from genocides in Rwanda, Bosnia, and the Sudan; to widespread poverty in the developing world; to conflicts in Chechnya and the Middle East; to the seminal tragedy of 9/11. These are complex problems requiring multifaceted solutions. Through Stanford's International Initiative, experts from across the campus are working on these and other problems from multiple perspectives, approaching them as opportunities for transformative solutions.
