A Bold New Approach
The PACS Institute is pioneering evidence-based, interdisciplinary inquiry that informs global policy and inspires transformative action.
Our Story
The PACS Institute was founded in 2017 by Anders Reagan and fellow peace scholars determined to reinforce global peace and human rights mechanisms amid rising challenges. By reexamining the very foundations of peace and human rights, they determined to challenge conventional paradigms and replace them with rigorous, evidence-based frameworks.
What makes PACS Institute unique is its dual role as an academic think-tank and an advocacy organization – we generate cutting-edge research and directly engage with policymakers to turn insights into action. By uniting political science, philosophy, and social research, PACS challenges traditional approaches to peace.
In 2021, they secured UN consultative status at the United Nations, through which we bridge academic research with high-level advocacy, ensuring our insights lead to real-world impact.
Mission
To deepen our understanding of peace and human rights through rigorous interdisciplinary inquiry, and to transform these insights into actionable strategies for global policy.
Vision
A world where innovative research and collaborative advocacy foster sustainable, equitable peace and protect the rights of every individual.
