The Center on International Cooperation (CIC) is a foreign policy think tank based at New York University that works to enhance multilateral responses to global problems, including: conflict, humanitarian crises, and recovery; international security challenges, including weapons proliferation and the changing balance of power.; and resource scarcity and climate change. Through innovative applied research and direct engagement with policy actors, CIC has been at the forefront of policy decision-making in each of its core areas of research.
CIC was established in 1996 by Dr. Shepard Forman, former Director of the Ford Foundation's Human Rights, Governance and Public Policy, and International Affairs programs. Forman received his Ph.D.in Anthropology, did post-doctoral work in development economics at the Institute for Development Studies at Sussex, England, field research in Northeast Brazil and Timor-Leste, and taught at Indiana University, the University of Michigan and the University of Chicago. He authored two books on Brazil and edited six others on multilateral themes and a number of policy papers including recommendations that served as forerunners to the UN Peacebuilding Commission.
In 2005, Dr. Bruce D. Jones became CIC's Director. Jones has held a range of positions at the United Nations, and works regularly with the Brookings Institution and the World Bank. Most recently, Jones served as Senior External Advisor to the World Bank’s 2011 World Development Report on Conflict, Security, and Development, and in March 2010 was appointed by the United Nations Secretary-General as a member of the Senior Advisory Group to guide the Review of International Civilian Capacities. Other notable fellows include Dr. Barnett Rubin, Jean Arnault, and Jean-Marie Guéhenno.
