For more than 60 years, the Stanley Center for Peace and Security has brought together members of the global community to exchange ideas, foster innovation, and take collective action.
Our work focuses on three issue areas critical to shared and lasting peace. Within each, we search for new answers to the most timely policy questions.

61st Strategy for Peace ConferenceThe Stanley Center for Peace and Security believes that inclusive dialogue and diverse perspectives create better solutions for global policy—and that we cannot be effective in achieving our vision until the voices of Black people, Indigenous people, and people of color are preserved with dignity, heard with empathy, and respected with equity.
The Stanley Center for Peace and Security is investing in our local community through the acquisition and renovation of the former Musser Public Library, which will become the center’s permanent new home. The project will last through 2022, supporting construction and engineering jobs and culminating in one of the most environmentally-friendly and ecologically-sustainable buildings in the world. It will be integrated into the community and include space dedicated to the center’s programming in Muscatine. Follow our progress here.
