The Mathew B. Ridgway Center for International Security Studies at Pitt, in conjunction with the Asian Studies Center and the U.S. Army War College, will host a two-day conference on Sept. 16 and 17 entitled 'Violent Armed Groups: A Global Challenge.' This conference will explore the challenges posed by violent armed groups to security and stability in many parts of the world. While some of these challenges seem to be in areas peripheral to U.S. interests, others involve strategic areas, while yet others raise questions about the security of the global commons.
