Whatbegan as a bold, even audacious dream by three Stanford students in 1982 hasbecome an increasingly influential national institution with more than fourthousand members, nearly a thousand of whom are local elected officials.The following pagescontain brief descriptions ofCID's efforts to reverse thearms race through a progressive coalition of local elected officials (LEO),municipal foreign policies, citizen diplomacy, international computer networking,and alternative security structures. These diverse projects reflect CID'scommitment to developing creative approaches for citizens to becomediplomats themselves.

CID's President, Michael Shuman, attendedthe conference as a representative of the mayor of Palo Alto.

The report is long, involved, and sometimes evenemotionally wrenching, but we think it's well worth your reading time. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3qr854jz Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0zq946qz Center for Innovative Diplomacy Report - October/November 1984 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0zq946qz Wed, 28 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000 Center for Innovative Diplomacy
