Faculty, Staff, and Affiliates of the Program on Nonviolent Sanctions and Cultural Survival are committed to disseminating research on situations of conflict and nonviolent actions. The many books, articles, and research reports published by PONSACS' members consider the problems of dictatorship, war, terrorism, genocide, and oppression in the complex context of cultures and events that form the backdrop of many ongoing conflicts.
As of July 1, 2005, the Program on Nonviolent Sanctions and Cultural Survival has closed.
