Conflict Prevention Act

This bill would create a Center for Conflict Analysis, Planning, and Prevention inside the U.S. Department of State, led by a Director who reports to the Secretary of State through the Under Secretary for Political Affairs. The Center would analyze data on foreign conflicts, forecast possible areas of violent conflict, support peace negotiations, run strategic games and exercises to test policy options, and help develop training for Foreign Service officers. The Center's analysis would be shared within the Department and with other parts of the federal government as appropriate. The Center would have no more than 20 full-time employees, including staff who could be sent temporarily to embassies in regions affected by or at risk of conflict.
