Center for International Stabilization and Recovery

The CISR has a full-time staff that organizes faculty, students and other subject-matter experts into teams to address specific post-conflict issues.

In 2008 the name was changed to the present title, and the scope expanded to include all explosive remnants of war and post-conflict recovery issues.

CISR, working in close collaboration with faculty from JMU’s College of Business (COB), specializes in management training for leaders in mine action around the world.

The goal is to hone the skills of senior managers of national ERW and mine action programs so that countries can more effectively and efficiently clear their lands of landmines and other explosive remnants of war that adversely affect their citizens' well-being and impinge upon economic development.
