Soviet-American Dialogue in the Social Sciences: Research Workshops on Interdependence Among Nations
- Share to:
This report is the first published product of a collaborative effort sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council in the United States and the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (ASUSSR) on social and behavioral science research directed toward the prevention of nuclear war. In 1985, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) established a Committee on Contributions of Behavioral and Social Science to the Prevention of Nuclear War within the National Research Council's Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education. The central purpose of the committee was to identify knowledge in basic behavioral and social sciences that is relevant to issues of war and peace, to communicate that knowledge to the appropriate audiences, and to encourage research in areas that appeared ripe for developing new policy-related knowledge. The committee brings together people with policy-oriented backgrounds (security specialists, international relations scholars, and Sovietologists) and scholars whose expertise covers a range of fields in basic behavioral or social science, from organizational behavior to cognitive psychology to the study of social movements and ethnic relations.
