Overview
The Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey is an academic community committed to preparing professionals to provide leadership in cross-cultural, multilingual environments. The institute, along with New America Foundation, plans to convene a workshop in fall 2017 in Berlin, Germany to bring together the cyber capacity building and development assistance communities as an initial step toward building a strong foundation for conceptual analysis and thinking on international coordination mechanisms for cyber capacity building. The convening will serve to inform cyber capacity building activities and to facilitate international coordination of those activities.

Grants to this Grantee
for a communications assessment and strategy
An organizational effectiveness grant would help the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies of the Monterey Institute for International Studies (whose parent institution is Middlebury College) leverage its expertise for greater impact on nuclear policy debates and decision-making. The Center will work with a consultant to assess its current communication practices and develop a strategy for using the right formats, channels, and dissemination to reach key audiences.
for a project to engage the Non-Aligned Movement on non-proliferation and disarmament
This project would continue the Monterey Institute at Middlebury College’s work to enlist the Non-Aligned Movement’s support on issues related to nonproliferation and disarmament, particularly in advance of an important Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review conference in 2015. The Non-Aligned Movement is the largest and most diverse political grouping of nations engaged on issues related to nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament. More than two-thirds of the total membership of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty—including key countries such as India, Indonesia, and Egypt—are members of the Non-Aligned Movement. Surprisingly, in light of the size and political significance of the group, few Western governments, NGOs, or academics display much familiarity with its politics or perspectives.
