Founded in 2010, the Castleberry Peace Institute (CPI) at the University of North Texas (UNT) sponsors cutting-edge research and educational programs on the causes of war and peace, both within and between nations.

In today’s world, it is increasingly apparent that cultivating democracy, human rights, and economic development is critical to building a sustainable peace, and this notion is supported by decades of research. That is why the Castleberry Peace Institute takes a holistic approach to promoting scholarship on peace and conflict resolution.
