One main activity of the project is the preparation of 15 studies, each focused on well-defined economic or social areas of United Nations activity or on key ideas and norms linked to international peace and security.  Project co-directors are either authors or editors for about one-third of the volumes.  The other volumes are being written by one or more professionals carefully selected for their scholarly credentials and intimate knowledge of the topic to be researched.  All the books are being published as a special series by Indiana University Press and are peer reviewed.
