Who We Are

The International Conflict Analysis &
Transformation Research Group (ICAT) is a
public policy-oriented research group
directed by faculty in the Coles College of
Business and the College of Computing and
Software Engineering at Kennesaw State
University in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia.

research on intra– and interstate conflict in
order to develop policy prescriptions for
sustainable conflict transformation.

of stakeholders operating in socio-
economically vulnerable countries.
