Conflict Mediation Research and Action • Research on The Logic of Collective Investment: An Interest Rate Theory of Social
Action, which investigates the conditions when individuals view creating cross-community organizations as an investment with a net positive social payoff, rather than an individual cost to be avoided, as was the case in Mancur Olson’s The Logic of Collective Action.
• CONCORD LA--Building Cross-Cultural Bridges in South Los Angeles. Concord
LA is a project in planning that will create a strong collaboration among the Los Angeles Urban League, the Centinela Youth Services and The Concord Project at UCLA to reduce violence and increase safety in South LA.
