 "Winning the War on War: The Decline of Armed Conflict Worldwide, " a talk by Joshua Goldstein, American University Preeminent scholar of international relations Joshua Goldstein tears down one of the greatest myths of modern history. Despite all the hand-wringing, fearmongering, and bad-news headlines, peace is on the rise. Fewer wars are starting, more are ending, and those that remain are smaller and more localized than in past years. Incredibly, no national armies are still fighting one another—all of today's wars are civil wars. Understanding this worldwide decline in armed conflict is crucially important as America shifts from a decade of war to an era of lower military budgets and operations. General admission is on a space available basis. This event is open to the public. RSVP here

2010-11 Burkle Center Interns' comments on the Internship Program:
"This internship allowed me to meet people from all different arenas of international relations, individuals like Admiral Mike Mullen and Nobel Prize Laureate Joseph Stiglitz. It encouraged me to attend more events and lectures, and further expanded my interest in the field of international relations."
Anum I.
"My internship with the Burkle Center has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my three years at UCLA. The opportunities for professional and personal development are simply unmatched. The environment is friendly and efficient and fosters growth for both the individual and the group dynamic. I was exposed to many different aspects of the field of international relations which helped me discover a career path that I will be pursuing at law school. My work ethic and sense of professionalism were strengthened in such a way that will, without a doubt, aid me throughout my professional career. I highly recommend this internship to anyone who is interested in working in international relations with a group of individuals that will become valuable professional connections and, more importantly, good friends."
Mahmood B.

I will look back fondly on my year at the Burkle Center and the relationships I made as a period in which I was challenged, nurtured, and greatly rewarded.”
