Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper deals with a dilemma for peace and conflict studies created, in part, by a recent call from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) for conflict resolution-relevant institutions to form consortia in response to USAID's need to combine its development work worldwide with conflict resolution theory and practice. The dilemma is that:-- some members of academic institutions consider it immoral/unethical to assist -- and to be seen to be assisting -- the Bush administration's policies of pre-emptive war, invasions and occupations of two Muslim countries, undermining of the Geneva Convention, violations of civil liberties in the US and abroad and commission of various other violations of human security. On the other hand other academic researchers consider it immoral/unethical to stand by and do nothing to shape such reprehensible US Government foreign and domestic policies.The paper will analyze the dilemma and positions of the various parties to the debate, and suggest a morally/ethically and pragmatically defensible resolution of the corresponding conflict.
