USIP: An Overview
The United States Institute of Peace was formed in order to collaborate with a network of regional organizations. The institute was introduced in order to test the effectiveness of arts, media, education, and culture as engagement for peacebuilding.
Moreover, the purpose of the establishment of the USIP was to bring forward the growing intolerance for the narrow capacity of state and diversity.
