Center for Preventive Action "Flashpoints" Roundtable Series

Director:	Paul Stares, General John W. Vessey Senior Fellow for Conflict Prevention and Director of the Center for Preventive Action

November 2007 - Present

The meeting series focuses attention on situations that are increasingly discernible as "flashpoints" for violent conflict. At each on the record meeting, experts from government, private sector, and nongovernmental communities present different perspectives on and address discrete elements of the problem. The goal of the "Flashpoints" series is to raise public awareness of potentially explosive places and to offer practical recommendations for preventive action in the discussed state or region.
