The Cebrowski Institute at The Naval Postgraduate School has launched an interdisciplinary research and education initiative for conflict prevention and promotion of human security in the context of global change. Stability is inexorably linked to two factors: security and development. SAGE promotes multinational and cross-sector approaches to developing analytic and policy tools, economic and social models, risk management, technical innovations and social networks for peace building and global security.
